Good afternoon if i sit down and get up to go my knees and right help have a numnisfeeling and for a sec battle to walk. what kood be wrong?

The unusual thing: is the that the feeling is numbness...the most common cause of disability of walking when arising from sitting is degenerative arthritis of the knees and hips causing pain, but typically one doesn't feel numbness. The numbness suggests nerve involvement, very possibly from nerve compression in the low back/spine. A careful exam from a spine or orthopedic specialist is warranted. Imaging may help.
