Numbness and cramps: Symptoms that appear on your lower extremities when you change positions, i.e. Sitting, may be due to a positional radiculopathy..In other words, you may have a lower back problem such as a herniated disk or arthritis, or a knee problem. Please consult with either a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in back problems.

Numbness: You may have an issue that stems from your spine like nerve impingement or inflammation . Consult with spine specialist.
