A member asked:

I walk daily for abour 20-25 minutes. lately my left leg thigh muscles tingling with pain. disappears for sometime and reappears.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Traction radiculitis: Based on the info provided you could be irritating the lumbar nerve root which will either cause pain, pins and needles (paresthesias), numbness, and/or weakness. Take a break if possible and see if the symptoms disappear. If not then see your doctor to pursue further diagnostic testing and treatment. Good luck.
