Hi!
One possibility for weakness in both legs is compression of spinal nerves in lumbo-sacral region, and thus MRI of lumbar and sacral spine should be done. Other possibilities are peripheral neuropathy like in diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, Reynaud’s phenomenon, Vit B12 deficiency; anxiety and panic disorder; or even due to electrolyte imbalance. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, polio, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis are other possibilities.  Please discuss these possibilities with your treating doctor. Take care!
