title: By the way, doctor. When I walk for about a mile, my leg muscles suddenly get very weak--so weak I can hardly walk. After 10-15 minutes of rest, the muscles go back to normal and I can continue for another mile or so. I am trying magnesium pills. Can you think of anything that might be causing this sudden weakness?
