marymary, you do need to get yourself to a doctor, as the other kind folks have recommended as well. It has the sound of footdrop. Damage to the perineal nerve, perhaps? Again, I am no doc, and could be way off, but you need to be seen. You don't want to risk any permanent damage from this dangerous symptom. Do not take this lightly. Please let us know what you find out. We care.
My best,
Cindylou
