What Causes Numbness Feeling In Foot While Walking?

I just started tech school for the United States Air Force shortly after arriving here I started having back and sharp pains and my foot has this numbness or tingly feeling to it and gets worse when I walk for while... just wondering if you think I will be getting a early separation from military because of this?

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history.

As per the history it appears to me more of a nerve impingement. undergoing a thorough clinical examination and an MRI of lumbar spine to the extent of the nerve impingement.

Also, your symptoms are less and not must serious kind one. with physical therapy and proper stabilization of the spine you can regain the strength in the muscles of the Spine.

All the best for your career. You won't have early separation. you have a long go
