Hi, i have tingles in my cheeks and hands, tingles and numbness in my back between shoulder blades that come and go, but i have constant tingling in my lower leg as soon as i stand with burning in my outer calf, when i walk a short distance, i starting to get very worried as this is causing me extreme pain.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
First possibility could be lumbar canal stenosis leading to burning sensation and pain in your leg and inter scapular area.
Due to compression of this nerve root there can be leg pain associated with it.

I will advise you to do MRI spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
