Hi, i'm 24 years old, my height and weight is 5'10" and 92 kgs and I am feeling numbness in my left leg while walking, numbness feels only while walking otherwise I don't feel it while sitting or sleeping, I can walk around 500m without numbness feeling and after that my leg feels heavy and I feel pain in calf muscles but as soon as I stop walking, within 5 seconds my legs come in normal state. I had slip disc 5 years ago but that time my right leg was hurting and this condition of numbness in left leg is from around 10 years. Please suggest what medication or exercise should I do. Thank you in advance.

You might be having symptoms of nerve compression. Please seek medical opinion at the earliest. Weight loss might be considered as an early option.

History you have given is suggestive of intermittent claudication pain, it happens due to constriction of arteries to leg (because of your history of exertion after fixed amount of exertion ). You need to confirm this with scans, then maybe decide on medication.
