Difficulty standing up after sitting for a while

Is it normal that after sitting for a good length of time I need assistance to stand back up? or should I be starting to be getting concerned?

Are you having any nerve pain, muscle pain, fatigue, weakness or tingling?

No just the inability to stand-up

Maybe something to relax the back muscles so you're able to move more freely? That's what my neurologist put me on to help with my ruptured and mitigating discs. I can't lay on my back to sleep all night anymore or simply roll over. I literally have to wake up, sit up and readjust in bed, takes a couple if minutes every time (so multiple times at night I wake up to readjust). But the muscle relaxer does help me move around without constantly waking up. And I no longer lose feeling in my legs from laying on my back like I used to. Used to not ever be able to lay on my back, now I can lay for about 30 minutes before numbness kicks in.
