Try to exercise a bit less. Overdoing it can l eave the muscles a little shaky. In addition, it cane be caused by anxiety. I sometimes have a feeling of weakness in my inner thighs snd inner arms. I have mostly learned to ignore it. It usually lasts half a day and then goes away for a few months.

Hi Sophia! Definitely. When I am anxious I can become lightheaded and my arms and legs go weak.

Jelly arms and legs are common with anxiety. Best to rule out the obvious, but it’s very common with anxiety.

I’ve had weak arms and legs for months. I put it down to my statins. I’ve now changed to an alternative tablet that does the same job but isn’t a statin. It’s been a few weeks but I’m still not back to my usual strength. It’s interesting it can be anxiety. I have been through a lot of stress recently. I hope you can get some help soon.
