Weak legs

Hi all hope someone can help I was wondering if anyone had any exercise to help strengthen weak legs they feel like a tonne of bricks I've been taking fampyra for a few months helped a lot for about a month then just stopped working I continued taking for months thinking they would help but my legs have got worse I know they will never be right again just wish I could at least Walk about the house without grabbing everything possible to stop falling.😟

@enzo_licata , it's best to consult a Neuro-physio to determine what is, and isn't, working properly. They can then prescribe simple exercises to address these weaknesses.

Squats are great to strengthen the thigh areas, however don't push yourself so hard that you fall or ache too much. Or try a stable bike (ie exercise bike/cross trainer) as this will help improve the strength, but I'd definitely consult your neuro or nurse (if you have access to one) and then they can advise properly what to do!
