What cause loss of control on feet after sitting on toilet?
Patient: 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? Doctor: 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.
