Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the driver seat.
The seat can put pressure on your sciatic nerve which runs down the back of your leg. This can block nerve transmission and cause the numbness or pins and needles.
The only remedy is to change the driver seat to avoid the pressure on the nerve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
