weird knee problem

sorry i know this isn't directly lung related but i wanted to ask yall...

so about 5 days ago I'm at work just doing the regular stuff and my knees start randomly buckling when i'm just walking around. not both at the same time and not with every step but probably about 20 times throughout the day; sometimes when i'm just standing still too. it's weird.
i've been working out consistently for about 7 months now doing weights and cardio a few times a week and getting stronger and back into better shape. i've been having some joint pain in my hips and knees for about the past month but nothing bad and motrin would take care of it but not the buckling. also my muscles in my legs just feel weak--i just feel off and a little weak in general. i haven't been on any new meds or stopped taking any...
i'm a little more tired that normal but i haven't been sleeping all that well so it's not unexpected. sorry to keep rambling on...

hmm... some of the symptoms you mention make me think it could be sciatica. Do you have any lower back issues that you're aware of?

sometimes my lower back hurts but nothing debilitating. it feels like it has to pop if that makes sense but then never does....and it's just occasionally

Hey Jaime are you on cipro/ have been in the past 14 days muscle/ tendon weakness is a possible side effect.
Hope you sort it out quickly<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Have the joint problems only been around since you've been working out? I've had my share of joint issues over the years, from sports as well as workout related abuse. I've always had rather weak ankles for some reason too lol.

I have problems with my right knee when I run. Pain, to the point where I have to stop, long before my lungs would require me to stop. it's frustrating <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">.
