Most of the strength returned in my legs. I just have some residual weakness on my right side. I walk around the house and the yard fine without any assistive devices, only use cane when I go out because I do fall frequently, and use electric carts in stores when I will be shopping for more than a few items because of fatigue. We have steps going into the pool with handrails so I don't have any problems getting in and out of the water. I don't do alot of actual swimming anymore because it hurts my legs, just float or walk around, I will be 47 in a couple of months.

How does it feel? Is it easier to move around in water? I used to do water aerobics, in fact, that was when I first noticed something strange with my legs. All of a sudden one week I would come home from aerobics and my legs would feel really tired. I just thought that I was working harder in the water. Wrong. By the end of the week my legs gave out and that was that! I really miss walking in the water. How old are you? Janice
