I didn't know where else to post this question but hopefully someone can either help me out or relate to this.
I walk to work everyday when I can. It's a good 10-15 minute walk if I walk fast enough which I usually do. A while back, about midway to work, my left leg would start to "give out." I didn't think too much of it, to me, it just felt like my leg was getting tired. Then I went on vacation recently which required a LOT of walking. (Like 12 hour days.) At the end of the day, my left leg would start to give out, my knee locked into place (a key point and one thing I notice the most) and as i walked my foot would make a "clomp" against the ground....enough that my dad would say I sounded like a "lame horse." (Ha) (It actually sounds like "step...SLAP...step...."SLAP etc"
One time on this trip, my left ankle twisted and I fell. It was OK if I stopped to rest for a few minutes, but then it would start happening again.
Today, walking to work, again my left leg started getting that clumsy feeling. I tried to slow down the pace but that doesn't help. Again, my knee will "lock" when I take a step, my foot will hit the ground with a "clomp" and then I almost start limping because it gets worse. there's no pain, no feeling of numbness, just me not being able to control my step.
It gets extremely frustrating because honestly , it's like my leg just won't "work."
What's going on? I love to walk. I'm healthy, in shape, normal weight, 29 year old female. I'm so scared that it's something serious so I haven't told anyone .I just laugh it off. If there's anymore info you need from me, please let me know. Thank you:)
