When i stand up my right leg feels like a tingle and numbness. what can it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leg Lightening: Lower extremity "electrical" symptoms like tingling or "pins and needles" suggest a neurologic component to the sensation. This usually means a nerve root or more peripheral nerve has been compressed due to position, like sitting for too long. Also, if the nerve was deprived of blood flow due to position, once blood flow returns, the irritated nerve sends mixed signals felt as tingling.
