Tingling And numbness in thigh and leg
I ride motorcycle daily to and from work. I am on the bike for about an hour or sometimes more depending upon traffic. recently while I am driving my right leg goes numb and I have a tingling sensation. The sensetion is near the calf side and goes up to the thigh. The tingling sensation stays in the thigh even when I reach home and when I am not riding. Is there anything to worry ?

Tingling sensation around your calf and thigh points out to nerve compression symptoms.. This can happen at the level of your spine or your legs per say .. This can be due to disc issue or posture issues.. Proper clinical examination would help us know the exact cause of tingling.. If not associated with muscle weakness it shouldn't be a serious issue..
Health Tips
Get Ortho doctor consultation for clinical evaluation.
