Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] Condition has gotten significantly worse, when I sit on toilet, I am afraid I will fall due to numbness in legs and feet , especially left leg and foot . I have to hold on to something for support to walk or crawl when I first get up. If not, I have to physically pick my leg up and move it while supporting myself on whatever is near. This last about 3-5 minutes, but making me afraid of falling. Don t want to have to Crawl.
[|AI|]  Numbness in the legs and feet could be because of a peripheral nerve problem (nerves of feet). Short-duration numbness after sitting is common and is not worrisome. However, if numbness persists for longer duration or if it occurs without any pressure on the affected area, a nerve disease should be excluded. You should see a neurologist, who might perform a nerve conduction studies (NCV) test. In addition, he may also check blood tests for diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency and thyroid.
