What Causes Tingling In Leg?
I m having issues with my right leg. Pain in my right thigh when I stand and tingleing in my right shin below the knee. Doc did full body scan and found a benigh tumor on my right thigh. He couldn t figure out what tingleing was from, (it feelslike a thousand ants are on my lower leg.) Any thoughts?

hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.
As you are having tingling sensation in the leg, an MRI of the lumbar spine should be of sight and and NCV test too. Due to abnormal pressure on the nerve in the lumbar spine or anywhere in the course of the nerve the symptoms of numbness, tingling, pain etc is noticed.
Once the nerve is been assessed the treatment will be directed towards the same with medication and physical therapy.
