I had surgery for kidney cancer 8 years ago. They removed part of my right kidney. I am also diabetic. For the last week I have been having pain in my right leg where it is hard to lift my leg and it feels like it will give out some times when I am walking. Can this be related to my kidneys?
Hi, As post surgery there might be weakness of the spinal muscles leading to nerve root entrapment and due to which there is weakness in the legs and abnormal motor control. Also, you being diabetic will make the nerve functions to reduce as well.  I will advise simple low intensity exercises which will help you to reduce the symptoms. Exercises include - breathing exercises, core stability exercise, spinal muscle strengthening exercises, hip muscle strengthening exercises, static hamstring, static qua Chat Doctor.  This should help the muscle strength and muscle physiology to regain its normal functions and help to have normalcy of life. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
