Leg/Hip weakness/stiffness

dawn7767

I am 15 year post anal cancer. The last few years I have been experiencing leg and hip weakness so bad that I can' get up off the floor when I get down to get something out of the cabinets or cleaning the floors. Has anyone experienced or experiencing this also. I really think it's from treatments, I had both chemo and radiation. Any tips would be appreciated. I have done PT yes it helped but I can't afford it on a long term basis. It really helped when the therapist stretched my legs to areas that I cant. I'm getting to the point that I'm having a VERY hard time getting up without anything to support (counter, chair, step stool etc) I'm also very uneasy stepping down off a tall curb or step. 😥

Hi Dawn I too am having problems with pain in the hips buttocks and legs. I have had similar treat for AC as well. I am having a Ultrasound next week to check for blocked arteries. It's call Claudication. Not enough oxygen getting to the legs.
