What Causes Lower Backache Along With Numbness Above The Knees?
I ve been suffering from lower back pain right side for years and at the same time my right thigh above the knee feels like it s burning and numb at the same time. 27 years ago I broke my back in a motorcycle accident but that was my t-12 which doesn t seem to bother me. I did however have a bone graft from the posterior iliac crest. Can t seem to get anywhere with doctors so doing my own research. Any ideas would be helpful.

Dear patient
Pain in the lower back with right side numbness mostly is due to nerve compression at the lumbar spine. Diagnosis nee to be confirmed by Mri of Lumbo sacral spine. Please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. Meanwhile start tab pregalin x 75 mg one at bedtime. If Mri report is abnormal please consult spine surgeon nearby your area with report.
