Hello,
Tingling, numbness and pain on legs are likely to be due to compression of nerve supplying legs. These symptoms are unlikely to be associated with prostate cancer. I suggest you to consult your neurologist for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Shailja Puri
