I am a 31 year old female. Recently I have been having pinprick pain, aches and just a general strange feeling in my legs. Mostly my right leg. This happened about a week before I had a really bad backache which lasted a few days. I have this back pain in my lower back a few times a year and with rest it goes away. could it be affecting my legs this time? I have heard that lower back problems can affect nerves in the leg.
Hiwelcome to Chat Doctor forum as per your history you have pricking pain in the leg, you have not mentioned whether it is in the thigh or in the calf, this time the back pain you had what triggered, like you had fall, or you had lifted the weight, or you were travelling in the bus or any other cause, but you have said that you had the back pain whicChatDoctore and went on the rest. Anyway, the history that u gave I would like to rule out AVDP or malaria paresthesia, I would advise you to meet an orthopaediccian who will examine and treat accordingly. For the time being you can take rest, not bend forward, not to lift weight and analgesics wish you early recovery Chat Doctor.
