Recently I pulled my back, now when I walk my hips and back of my legs start to tighten, and the bottom of my feet start to tingle. I cant walk very much without this occurring, and once I sit for a little while it all seems to go away. what is going on?

Hello dear
Thanks for your query at hcm.

Pain that is running from back to legs with tingling sensation might be because of the compression on sciatic nerve producing pain called sciatica .
My recommendation would be get physically examined by orthopedic surgeon for further investigation and management .
MRI scan would help you to come to diagnosis.
