[|Human|] I get intermittent weKNESS AND PAIN IN THE BACK OF MY THIGHS TOGETHER WITH WEAKNESS ON STANDING AND WALKING. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO HOLD ONTO SOMETHING OR SUPPORT MY STANDING WITH A WALKING STICK. THERE IS DIFFICULTY IN STANDING UIPRIGHT AND BEING ABLE TO WALK. THIS IS INTERMITTENT. AT OTHER TIMES I CAN WALK OR STAND UNAIDED. BUT I AM WITHOUT CONFIDENCE TO WALK UNAIDIED. WHEN SHOPPING I MUST TAKE A TROLLEY THAT I CAN LEAN ON WHEN THE WEAKNESS STRIKES. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS?
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think your You are suffering from lumbar spondylosis with degenerative spine. Rest in position of relief, Cartilage D once daily, NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is lower than vitamin D supplementation will be required. You may be further investigated by MRI of spine.  I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query
