A member asked:

Have chronic back pain and now i have numbness in my feet and fingertips and i itch alot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Back pain and numbne: This called neuropathy and has to do with irritation of the nerves at the spinal roots. Sometimes dealing with the cause of the back pain will help, but other times the numbness will remain or worsen.
