About a month ago I developed a degenerative disc disorder,
specifically a pinched nerve. I have had physical therapy and continue
to do some exercises at home.

I have no other symptoms now except right leg weakness--that does not
go away. Makes me cautious walking to prevent falls.

I am a senior citizen so assume recovery time would be extended.
How long does it usually take for this weakness to lessen?
Thanks

Alton
