What Causes Persistent Pain And Tingling Sensation In The Leg?

I think I stepped on a scorpion. Stepping into the hot tub about 2 hours ago. I felt an instant pain and ever since my left leg has been tingling and the pain and numbness is continuing to move up my leg. Should I seek medical care or will it eventually subside?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. If you getting it again then you should consult your doctor. It can be due to nerve compression syndrome or blood vessel problems or due to deficiencies like vitamin b12 or b6. Checking blood levels of vitamin b12 is also good.
Thanks.
