Muscle wastage in legs?!
Question: I have wastage in my legs resulting in a loss of strength so bad that I cannot stand up if my legs give way - which happens frequently. Chiro tells me a disc has been preventing nerves from feeding the leg muscles, having treatment from chiro but no significant improvement. Physio work is building upper body but again not improving the leg issue. I am otherwise fit and healthy. Any ideas?

The only way to fix nerve damage is a major hassle, it's that or suffer. Your choices suck.

Weight training, gradually building up the weights may help you.
Check with your doctor first. As long as he doesn't forbid exercise, it should make you stronger.
