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

Do get blood tests for complete blood count, platlets, ESR etc, serum calcium and phosphorous levels.Take tramadol 100mg BD for 3-5 days,and neurobion forte OD, shellcal 500 mg BD and Evion 400mg OD for 3 weeks.Consult with the blood reports again. Do massage of leg and shin with voveran gel
