Leg weakness and fatigue after chemotherapy can be alleviated by adjusting dietary habits, taking oral medications, and other methods. When experiencing leg weakness following chemotherapy, it is advisable to consume more foods rich in high-quality protein, such as lean meat, eggs, and milk, to enhance immunity and improve symptoms of leg weakness. Additionally, under a doctor's guidance, medications such as ibuprofen or aspirin may be taken for treatment.
