[|Human|] im a 48yr old women and ive noticed recently that i cant get words out properly and say words that sound alike, i usually have perfect speech so this is srarting to worry me a bit. ive also had a numbness in my right leg at the bottom of my thigh/knee area and my leg goes weak.
[|AI|]  Hello, Let me divide the symptom first. For the speech, I think you need to check this out with the neurologist is there is any higher motor function or cranial nerve involvement. Only after an MRI and clinical examination, we can comment over this. Coming to your other symptoms like - numbness, pain, tingling, etc. which is radiating in nature I suspect this to be a nerve impingement in the lumbar spine. Due to which there are the symptoms present. Doing core stability exercises, spinal muscle strengthening exercises and lower limbs as a whole for strengthening will help improve the symptoms to reduce. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
