<human>: 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?
<bot>: 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.
