A member asked:

What to do if i have sharp shooting burning tingling pain from my back to my toes on the right side, this happned after surgery as well, should i be concerned ?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: I recommend you see your surgeon right away. Shooting pain from your back down is usually an indicator of a nerve irritation in your spine and it should be looked at right away.
