Brief Answer:
Suggestive of claudication.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. They are suggestive of claudication, where neurological symptoms such as tingling, numbness and pain occur after exercises or walking.

There are two main causes for this:

1. Neurogenic claudication- due to pinching of nerves in the lumbar region (lower back) due to slipped disc

2. Vascular claudication- due to narrowing of arteries in calves or thighs, usually in people with diabetes or high blood pressure.

If the symptoms persist, then, please get evaluated for the above two conditions.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
