What Causes Pain And Tingling Sensation In Legs And Waist?
Question: My legs have been hurting from waist down to feet. Bruising on both thighs. Hospital says is it inconclusive. Burning, tingling sensation throughout left leg. Wondering if someone can help me get an insight on what may be causing this.
Brief Answer:
Can be nerve related cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain and tingling sensation that you are having can be related to a nerve root compression at the level of lumbar spine or Vitamin B 12 deficiency or an electrolyte imbalance. It is good that any blood clots have been ruled out already.
It is best to consult a neurologist and get the investigations like MRI scan and blood tests done to find out the cause. You can also start with methylcobalamin supplements and see if it helps.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
