Right leg won't move

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. My question is this. Lately, over the last 3 months, I've noticed that whenever I try to get into my car, my right leg won't move at all. It just seems to hang there limp, there's no feeling from the hip down at all. It's almost like the signal from my brain isn't getting to it!! Obviously, it's starting to concern me!! I just wondered if anyone else had this problem and if so, what was said about it from a medical point of view!!

Thanks xx

My right leg frequently is weak and doesn't work right. I have a lesion at T6 and another at T12 that interfere with back functions.

I have right side weakness due to my MS. Every time I get in a car as a passenger (can't drive any more) I have to lift my leg in.

This has become second nature to me and I just do it naturally now without thinking about it.

Do you have a diagnosis?
