Prickly Sensation On Tip Of Right Toe, Intense Right Sciatica, Right Foot Gets Colder, Symptoms Occurred After Dancing. Treatment?
Hi, Last weekend I dance 3 days and night straight. Monday night I started to notice a prickly needle only on tip of my right toe . My right sciatica is slightly more intense. Throughout the remaining of the week I ve noticed my same right toe or foot gets colder than usual. Only the right toe has this wierd sensation. Never felt this way after dancing before. Please advise.

Consult a Neurologist...you may need MRI of the spine...
ElectroMyoGraphy and/or Nerve Conduction studies are often necessary too...
Doppler study of lower limb arteries may be in order...
In the mean time. Drugs like anti-depressants (SSRI / SNRI) / anti epileptics (like gabapentin) may help – by elevating the pain threshold and may be helpful...
Wishing speedy recovery

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
From descrition it could be due to nerve compression at spine or due to vascular issue. Thorough clinical evaluation is required. Your doctor after examination may advice you for MRI/ colour doppler.
Hope this helps you.
