Hi,
It may be best to be assessed so that muscles and the nerves in the lower limb can be examined. If the symptoms are worsening, you should go sooner rather than wait on your appointment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
