What Does Pain In The Right Leg Indicate?

after I have been driving for an hour or so, I start to get right leg pain. The pain starts in my hamstring area and if I do not stop driving then the pain starts to move down my leg and the pain gets worse. If I get out of the car and stand up straight I get almost instant relief and the pain just goes away.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think, there is sciatic nerve compression while driving. You will get instant relief after you change your position. So, if you are a driver then try to understand your problems and change your position accordingly.

Because if you keep on driving without relief then it might cause nerve damage and lot other problems. So, kindly take more breaks while driving and don't put pressure on one area only.

Even if you have bad posture while sitting, just correction of it can solve all your problems.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
