Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain And Numbness In The Buttocks And Legs?
My legs are sore all over for no reason. When I sit down there s a numb sensation in my butt which travells right though to my legs.This is very painful. I don t feel that it s relative to fitness because last year I walked home from school every day apart from mondays and I would still get this leg pain. It s now summer and I am doing little to no excersise apart from the odd walk in the evening or walking home and I still get these pains so I really don t think it s relative to fitness.I get cramps in my legs at night also. This pain is severe and is becoming an issue as it s affecting my sleep and a lot of the time the pain is so bad I can t walk. I ve tried leg workouts, squats and nothing has worked.. I really don t know what to do..
Symptoms of numbness and pain radiating down into the legs could be arising from a compressed nerve in your low back. The best way to have this diagnosed would be a physical exam and possible follow-up imaging - x-ray and/or MRI.
