Muscle weakness in thigh muscles

[Fudgerelle]

I am writing this to ask for help, not only do I have the ghastly ibs, over a period of time after my second hip replacement 3 years, I have gradually got weaker, it is probably due to the fact that I am a lazy cow.....two days ago, I managed to get down stairs just....but at the bottom my legs just gave out...wonderful husband helped me get into the lounge with difficulty. Improved during the day. Yesterday again had difficulty getting down stairs. Husband out...legs froze again, this time nothing to grab onto, sat down on my bottom, then fell backwards and cracked my head on the wall. Not knocked out...I am a retired nurse, so should know what to do! Took 3/4 of an hour to get into the lounge. Going to bed later was hell thought I would have to sleep 1/2 way up!..just want to know if anyone has this same problem with legs seizing up. Also anyone taking vitamins or supplements for it...in bed today nursing a large sore lump on back of head!
