What Causes Weakness And Tingling In Legs Along With Back Pain?
Hi, my name is Jessica and I am seeking just an opinion. I ve been seeking help for my back problems. I m only 29 going on to 30 and have bad back problems. Arthritis and disc bulges. My legs turn to jelly and tingle which I recently had an MRI done which shows no nerves being pinched. Still confused on why my legs do this only when I bend a certain way. Along with my Dr. He is also confused on why my legs do this. Any opinions?

iHi,
Thanks for the query.I understand your concern.
I feel you have femoral nerve pressure while it goes through sciatic notch of pelvic bone. A certian muscle pyriformis contracts while bending &tilting pelvis.. this presses the nerve (it supplies lower leg )& gives you the symptoms.
management is by physiotherapy /medicatio as per orghopexic zurgeon's ad ise.
thanks
