Tingling/pins and needles sensation in the left foot

[AlexLu]

Hi All,

This week (which is week 3 after the accident) I started to feel occasional "pins and needles" in my left foot and rarely in my left palm.

The GP said this is not related to the head trauma and it's to do with the low back pain?

Anyone experienced anything similar though?

Hi Alex.

Yes I suffer from a lower back injury which gives me the same symptoms you describe. Additionally I also suffered a bi at the same time which has effected the nerve recepters on my left side.

The upshot is I have little feeling in my left thigh and foot due to bi and pins and needles on my right leg due to back injury. I would probably have pins and needles on my left side but cant feel them due to numbness.

The other differance is the effects of the bi are a constant condition where as the back injury syptoms vary.

I hope this is helpfull to you

Pax.

Hi Pax, the thing is the doctors confirmed to me today that I have not been diagnosed with BI or TBI and the GP said the pins and needles in my left foot are due to some low back pain issues

[paxo05 in reply to AlexLu]

If its pins and needles its probably back related.

My bi has caused permanenr numbness to my left leg.my lower back injury causes pins and needles to occur on my right leg.I may get puns and needles on my left due to back injury but because of numbness I camt feel it.

Sounds like your gp says and a back issue

I suffer from this and in my case it is due to a nerve in the lower back

[AlexLu in reply to Hidden]

Hi AlexLu my neurologist asked one of the first questions he sked was did I have pins and needles, tingling and or numbness in my hands or feet. I regularly get the feet feeling pins and needles and tingling from soles of feet and can be all the way up to my knees. Some time hands to elbows but nowhere near as often. He said this was one of the most common symptoms of my FND functional neurological disability my bi has left me with... As well as all the others... Aside from fatigue I would love to be able to walk with strength, stability I would be happy to forego the speed of I could aim for the others
