Hi i have severe leg pain (both legs) started about 10 days ago and is there continuously, painkillers do not help, it varies from prickly/sharp stabbing pain to skin feeling too tight, feeling hot (although not too touch), sometimes there s numbness and pins and needles but overall just very painful, sitting, lying does not ease it at all in fact possibly makes it more pronounced, driving me crazy

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
All the symptoms in your description typically suggests a Lumbar disc disease withradiculopathy.

I suggest you to have MRI scan of lumbar spine to know the exact pathology. The management protocol depends on the severity of nerve compression.

Temporary pain relief can be obtained by using an appropriate analgesic or muscle relaxant ,Pregabalin & methylcobalamine supplements.

Consult an orthopedic surgeon for further workup and management.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
