HELP! Legs fall asleep when running!

I just moved to a new area and new job…and have no health insurance for another 2 months!
I REALLY need to know if this is urgent or if it can wait….
I go for a run each morning and lately about halfway through my calves start hurting and then both my calves and both my feet fall asleep.
I am worried about this but I am hoping it can wait until I have insurance.
If it is going to cause permanent damage, I will just go.
PLEASE HELP!!

    This problem does not sound like it comes from your feet. It is possible that it could be coming from your back. If that is the only time it happens then I suggest you stop running and try bicycling entil you can see an orthopedist.
