What Could Be The Reason For Having Numbness And Tingling In My Foot And Pain In My Middle Back?
I have been having pain in my middle back when i get up in the mornings. Pain is while lying down or sitting. After walking awhile it goes awy. I am now having numbness & tingling in my left foot & hand. Have had this pain for about 2 yrs but is now staying with me. I can apply pressure to area & get some relief.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Pain at back and tingling and numbness in the foot is suggestive of some compressive neuropathy.
Here the test of choice is MRI Dorso lumbar spine. Accordingly physiotherapy and muscle relaxant will ease your problem. Avoid jerks on bikes and lifting weights with forward bending on spine...
Best wishes
