Numbness and pain in right leg

From the hip joint up to the heels and toes of the right leg there is pain and numbness. It increases whenever I stand for a long time or walk carrying some weight. It subsides after taking rest.

Looks like neurogenic claudication. May be due to pressure on the leg nerves in the spine.
