When I sit in the car, on the sofa, or anywhere else, I have a strong and painful sting running up and down my legs and glutes. Why is this and what can I do to stop it?

Have your physician check your pulses in the groin, behind the knee and at the feet. If he/she can not feel any one of these pulses, then a vascular lab study should be ordered that is called non-invasive arterial studies which measure an ABI (ankle brachial index) and blood pressures at various levels throughout your legs to determine the presence of peripheral vascular disease. This study should be performed both at rest and after walking on a treadmill. Best of luck!

Aurthurs correct. The sting comes from lack of blood flow.

It is hard to say by only going off the information you provided. It sounds like poor circulation.
