I use my arms more than my legs when going up the stairs as they are too weak and the muscles hurt so much. A neurologist has said that my left leg is weak and that is the one i have had problems with for years. I use my arms to pull myself up in bed and turning over as i just cant do it.
If i sit for more than 15 mins, my legs are so slow and weak to get going its embarrassing when i am out of the house.
