What Causes Pain And Tingling Sensation From Waist To The Foot?
Question: From my waist right side to the arch of my foot I have extreme pain and tingling.
I've been to a doctor who had xrays taken but no abnormal findings. I was told to give this two weeks and check back. This is going into week #2, and my pain level has not changed. Do you think this is more spine than mussle issues?

Physiotherapy and postural care. Avoid stooping forward, sitting crossed leg, squatting or lifting heavy objects.
