A member asked:

I have leg numbness or tingling that worsens on walking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Could be from nerve compression in the spine. Your age and amount of disk degeneration in the spine will affect this. If you get quick relief after sitting to rest, then it surely sounds like nerve compression. See a neurologist or neurosurgeon for eval.
