On Sunday it started my legs mostly calfs and feet are randomly getting pins and needles. My legs do not appear to be swollen. I was told to walk every hour and I have done that. Except for bedtime. Yesterday and today I actually have been walking more. It has stayed more consisted . After I walk a while maybe 10 minutes it seems to settle down but as soon as I sit down it comes back. I am still wearing compression stockings. Is this normal?
