What Does Pain In The Legs Upon Sitting Crossed Leg Indicate?
Basically, I cross my legs when I sit down. Once I move my leg back down, it hurts to push in, like towards the other leg. Every once in a while if I try to bend it in, there will be a very painful crack, and then it hurts and is hard to walk on for a while. Also, after the crack, I have slight pins and needles on my foot.

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Please undergo Xray knee and Xray lumbar spine .
If there is some changes detected in lumbar spine Xray, then you should undergo MRI lumbar spine .
Please note that persons who have arthritis in knee joints they should avoid sitting cross legged . Maintain proper posture while sitting and standing. Decrease weight if you are overweight or obese.
You may take any neurotonic containing Methylcobalamin and Gabapentin .
