What Causes Numbness In The Left Leg While Suffering From Lumbar Stenosis?
I have a chronic back with bulging discs, some stenosis in lower back. I also broke my tail bone and had to have part of it removed because it healed wrong. I constantly suffer from back pain which radiates to mostly to my left leg and causes my toes to numb up. I see a pain management doctor for this but injections and pain meds have done next to nothing to relieve my pain. Recently, both my knees starting hurting on the inner portion. This not only hurts to stand but to walk as well. Do not know what to do at this point. Can you please tell me what this could possibly be?
dear it may be due lumbar spondylosis with nerve root compression. it may be due to sciatica etc... please get it done MRI spine and you come to where is the problem is. physiotherapy, regular exercise.if symptoms not improved please consult your neurologist he will examine and treat you accordingly. use tab.pregaba m75 twice a day for five days. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.
