What Do Pain, Tingling And Numbness In The Legs Indicate?

I have pain, tingling, numbness in my legs from the knees down and in my hands and fingers. I have had this for years and have gotten to the point I cannot even drive my car because my left foot slips off the clutch. Could this be Fibromyalgia? I also have pain around my left hip and cannot lay on it for more than 10 to 15 minutes at a time.

you seem to be suffering from nerve compression at the level of lumbar spine with resultant sensory loss and weakness in the left lower limb. Diagnosis needs to be confirmed by doing MRI of the lumbo sacral spine with screening of whole spine. Please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. you need to consult spine surgeon with report as soon as possible.
