Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi dr , my question is i have non stoppable body needle and pin pains from my waist down to my feet and sometimes my back and my left shoulder, what do you think it is? my gp says it might be athritis, i have been on pain killers for three years but it is getting even worse. please help me.
I have studied your case. First possibility could be lumbar canal stenosis leading to pins and needles down leg Another possibility of lumbar disc compressing nerve root. Due to compression of this nerve root there can be pins and needle sensation in leg and waist. 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.
