Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] Every night while sleeping, both lower legs become numb and painful. I usually get up during the night and sit up for awhile. This has been ongoing for about 1.5 years. Can you suggest the cause or how to alleviate the pain so I can get a better night s rest?
[|AI|]  Dear patient numbness in both legs especially at night may be due to nerve compression at the level of lower spine. Rarely it may be due to cervical myeloma thy. I would like to advise X-ray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. Meanwhile, start tab regain x 75 mg one at bedtime for one month. If not relieved MRI of lumbosacral spine with screening of whole spine needs to be done and visit to spine surgeon is recommended.
