Weakness in right leg

[Marlabelle]

I am a healthy, active, obese 22 year old female. For the last 5 years I have been experiencing weakness in my right leg if walk a lot. I exercise a lot, enjoy swimming, and walk everywhere. Lately however, it has been getting a little worse. In fact today I did very little physical exercise, only a 40 minute walk, and after wards my right leg could no longer support it's weight. I had to hop around on one foot, and borrow my friends wheelchair for support. It doesn't hurt, and it doesn't seem to be muscle strain because my leg never hurts when it's weak or the next day. I often worry about falling if I do not have something to support myself when my leg is acting up, because it's happened before. Any ideas?

There is no inflammation or pain, and I have been following a healthy lifestyle. There is no muscle or ligament damage, as there has never been any other side effects except for I suddenly can't walk. Please don't assume that my weight is the issue here. I get 2 or more hours of cardio 3 times a week, and I weight train with my boyfriend. My Obesity is the result of psychiatric medications I was taken off recently, and has no relation to my leg.

Please control your weight and calculate your BMI :  being obese will lead you into problems like ligament sprains etc. while doing active work.
Go and visit an Orthopaedician and ascertain the damage you have done and go for treatment and follow a healthy lifestyle: good diet chart coupled with cardio.
Take some anti inflammatory drugs to relieve the inflammation and pain.
Take care!
