You can suffer from a leg weakness with either having sudden cramps , or having weak bones aat the knee joint.

Or not having enough muscle tone or low amounts of cartilage

Leg weakness can occur from

- sciatica

- bulging discs in lower back

- leprosy

- nerve palsy of leg (common peroneal nerve injury)

- Diabetes

There are a plethora of causes depending on associated symptoms that one could have like back ache (bulging disc), tingling numbness(sciatica), elevated blood sugar (diabetes).

Many things can cause leg weakness. Muscle atrophy, and not using the muscle enough, can make it weak. Also, diseases such as diabetes can affect leg circulation.

Poor circulation is one cause of this condition. The poor circulation could be caused by serious conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or morbid obesity (or all three). Overuse of NSAIDs (Motrin, Aleve, aspirin, etc.) can cause very easy bruising. A reaction to statins can cause leg weakness and aching, especially in the great muscles of the leg. Poor footwear and posture can also cause leg weakness and aching.
