What Causes Tingling Feeling In The Leg?

A few days ago my leg started tingling, and still is. It is mainly behind the knee, my whole calf and half of my thigh. I also have a burning sensation. It comes and goes but last for many hours, and it actually feels better when I m up walking and worse when I am lying down. And just yesterday I have developed an ear infection, which I get frequently. Can these be related and if so what could it be?

Dear patient your symptoms of tinggling in leg and ear infections makes me to suspect diabetes. For which you should get your glucose testing done.If it is positive see a specialist and if negative go for MRI spine, which can show if some nerve root is getting pressed. For which you can go for nerve root blocks or epidural steroid injections. But first get a diabetes screening done.
For any query you can ask me again, anytime.
