Question: A few weeks ago during a holiday in Thailand I started feeling dizzy so I started walking from the beach to my room
as I thought I was simply dehydrated.However as I continued walking I felt increasingly dizzy and kept bumping into objects on my left hand side only.I also had pins and needles down my left leg and around the left side of my waste.
This persisted for a day or two.Whilst the dizziness has improved my left foot and the left side of my waste persist with the feeling of pins and needles.I am 49 go to the gym regularly and have never experienced this before.
Brief Answer:
I will advise you to do MRI spine.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case.
First possibility could be lumbar canal stenosis leading to pins and needles down leg.
Another possibility of lumbar disc compressing nerve root.
Due to compression of this nerve root there can be pins and needle sensation in leg and waist.
I will advise you to do MRI spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Wishing you good health.
