What Causes Tingling And Burning Sensation In Foot/shin/thigh?

I have been having random/sporadic muscle spasms (primarily knee, foot, shoulder, buttocks). The frequency of spasms have decrease (notice only apprx 10ish a day), but now have tingling/burning sensations, primarily only in the right foot, right shin, right thigh. I am seeing a chiropractor tomorrow, should I escalate this to my family physician or wait and see ?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

You must consult orthopaedic surgeon instead of chiropractic.

Till then you can take pregabalin tablet 75 mg at night.

Try to avoid weight lifting, pushing or pulling heavy objects.

I hope it helps.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
