Having lower back pain with tingling feeling in both legs. No relief with paracetamol
Patient: HI, I have severe pain in my lower back on the left hand side above my bum, I bent down to pick something off the floor this morning and when I came back up right the pain started, I have a tingly feeling in both legs but my left leg really hurts when I walk on it. I have taken paracetomol for it but it s not done anything. Please help! Doctor: It seems you have developed as PIVD ie a slip disc in layman`s language and the nerves coming out from your spine are getting pressed causing tingling. Get a xray of dorso lumdar spine or a MRI. For immediate relief take some pain killer, muscle relaxant and local heat treatment and rest. Thereafter consult an orthopedic surgeon who will advise you accordingly.
