<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.In July I noticed a pain in my left hip socket when I exercised. I continued to exercise until I started having tingling and numbness in my leg. Long story short by conditioned worsened, I went to see my Neurosurgeon who sent me for L5 epidural injections which did not work, in October he performed a L5 discectomy which led to some relief of the leg pain however the hip pain returned and has gotten worse and now when I stand I can only stand for about 5 minutes and when I stretch I can cause my entire leg and foot to tingle.  <response>: Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor .com I am Chat Doctor.
