Is Numbness And Tingling In Leg While Standing Due To Cervical Spondylitis?
Hi Doctor, I was told that I have servic spondylitis. I also had some numbness/tingling/tingling going down my right leg for a long time. Recently the numbness/tingling has gone worse and apart from the side of my right leg has spread on top of my knee. When I get out of bed it is very bad. It also gets worse when standing. In the last couple of days I noticed the same but in a smaller scale in my left leg. does have anything to do with the servic spondylitis? regards Charlie

Pain or numbness/ tingling in your legs has nothing to do with cervical spondylosis. However you may be suffering from Lumbar Spondylosis or Disc prolapse which can cause this kind of problem.
