Suggest Treatment For Shooting Pain In The Legs And Numbness
I have shooting pain down my legs , numbness in my shin and what i call a dead leg. I walk and can not feel my self walking on my legs. I also trip for no reason. I do a lot of heavy lifting and believe i have ruptured a disc. I did have a ruptured disc 25 years ago in the same area
thanks for posing your query to hcm . disc injury is the cause for radiating pain in lower limb . I suggest you to undergo MRI of Lumber spine again to diagnose disc damage, as chances of recurrence are there. I suggest you to consult a neurosurgeon for management.
