my wife sits on the toilet for 15-to 20 minutes. When she get up she loses control of her legs to the point she cannot stand to her feet. I have to lift her, hold her up until she can stabd on her own. What can be the cause of this and how to prevent it?
Hello, As she is sitting for a long time there is a numbness due to compression of the nerve. If she continues to sit for 15-20 minutes using a small stool and keeping the feet on it will release the pressure and she won't feel the loss of control. Also, she can do on a regular basis simple lower limb strengthening exercises. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
