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.
What Is The Pain And Numbness In Shin Along With Chronic Back Pain?
I have numbness and occasional severe blinding pain below my knee on the shin. There is also leg cramping and spasams where my left leg just moves. The final thing is that I am getting permenent dark spoots almost like bruises on my leg. I have been treated for a bad back for a year and it just seems to be getting worse. Any ideas--Thanks
