Hello,

A spreading numbness involving both sides of legs might be a sign of developing viral lesion as Gullien Barre Syndrome or else.

I recommend a visit to the ER without waiting till your doc`s turn for an appointment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
