What Causes Numbness On Calf Radiating To Foot And Leg?
I am having numbness down the left side of my left calf that extends over the top of my left foot and on my right leg, it feels prickly and sometimes itches on the outside of my upper right thigh. Would a lower lumbar or lower back or hip injury cause these issues?

Hi welcome to health care magic...
Without clinical examination here one diagnosis cannot be made....
But yes if spinal problem present than tingling can occur....
Your neurological examination should be done along with checking reflexes...
Check sugar level to rule out diabetic neuropathy ...
Your serum calcium and vitamin b12 level also done for tingling....
According to cause further treatment can be given....
Take care
Advise : physician consultation for examination....
