I have lower back pain recently and before i need to poo i get a tingling sensation in my butt and sometimes down the back of my thigh ? i am also defecient in vitamins d and iron could this be why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinched Nerve: While there are many causes of back pain and leg tingling , one of the most common causes is lumbar radiculopathy. This occurs when one of the nerves leaving the back gets compressed as it leaves the spine and travels down the leg. Compression may occur due to degenerative/bulging discs or arthritic bone spurs contacting the nerve. See your physician if these symptoms last longer than 2 weeks.

Have you dealt with vitamin d induced deformities in younger teens, particularly of the lower leg? Is surgery the only fix or can casting or braces to the job instead? Also how urgent is it to be seen? It takes forever to get in to someone. Thanks?
