Q: .When I walk for about a mile, my leg muscles suddenly get very weak — so weak I can hardly walk. After 10–15 minutes of rest, the muscles go back to normal and I can continue for another mile or so. I am trying magnesium pills. Is there anything else you suggest?

When I walk for about a mile, my leg muscles suddenly get very weak — so weak I can hardly walk. After 10–15 minutes of rest, the muscles go back to normal and I can continue for another mile or so. I am trying magnesium pills. Is there anything else you suggest?

I often suggest trying home remedies or exercise for many health issues — then calling your doctor if they don’t work. But this is not one of those situations. Your symptoms could be caused by a serious condition. You need to contact your doctor.
