Leg muscle weakness at gym
context 18F 4 years post discectomy in L4-5 with a pinch of lingering nerve damage in left leg
which is something i didn’t think affected my life at all until right now, where i’m at the gym hitting legs and i realise when i do a single leg press (the leg press machine but just one leg at a time), my left leg is significantly weaker than my right. like it hurts so bad and gets tired out so easily.
initially during my sciatica days it was only nerve pain and i didn’t experience any motor weaknesses, except i guess now?
i genuinely tried to push thru it and work my left leg harder thinking it was a muscle imbalance, but nope, it’s almost like having a dead limb that won’t do what i know it could and should do
id ask if there’s any way around this issue to resolve it but i fear i sort of know the answer already :(
