I don't know the details of your back pain (e.g. duration, history of trauma, your age, gender), so i can't tell what's wrong with it. Hope this helps.\n\nUsually, tingling sensation, numbness, pins and needles and burning sensation are signs of neurological problems.\n\nIn your case, i think it is your back pain that is causing the problem. Maybe you are having a disc prolapse that is compressing on the spinal nerve. This can lead to the signs described above at various locations of the leg, depending on which nerve the prolapsed disc is compressing. Example, if the signs are located at the lateral (outer) side of the thigh, then it is caused by compression of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh.\n\nConsult your doctor if you have any doubt. They are the professional. I'm not.

Sounds like nerve damage.  Do you have diabetes?  Get checked for diabetes or you may have "restless leg syndrome"\n\nhttp://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/neuropathies/\n\nhttp://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/restless_legs/detail_restless_legs.htm

You probably pinched a nerve. Give it a few days, and if you don't have normal feeling back, consult a doctor.

When there is nerve damage, you might have neuropathic pain..which often shows as tingling, burning, or feels pressure sensitive. or You might not have any any sensation.\n\nIf pain is the issue, there are medications good for nerve pain..tricyclic medications as an example, ..but they take about 3 months for blood levels to rise and where there would be an effect.\n\nIf pain is not the issue, but you've lost function..that is different.  The doctor might order an EMG.  They put small surface electrodes on the path where the muscles would be stimulated and check the electrical activity with a machine, that shows a type of graph.  Doesn't take long.  You don't give enough detail to know how to answer re treatments.  ..sorry

It sounds like you strained some of the muscle in your lower back. Normally if the sciatic nerve is injured you will feel the pain radiate down one or both legs. Try giving your lower back a rest for 7-10 days. Use moist heat on it by lying on your stomach and placing a towel soaked in water as hot as you can stand without burning. Some heating pads come with a foam insert for this purpose. Use Ben Gay, Icy Hot or something like that on your lower back. The patches work very well and are rather convenient. But, do not bandage or wear tight clothing if you use these products.\n\nAlways stretch well before you exercise. This lets your muscles loosen and warm up before you put them in a strain.\n\nThat's the best advice I can give you. If this does not work I suggest you see a doctor before you do damage that can't be repaired or that will require surgery.\n\nTry the link below for some more information.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry

Sounds like peripheral neuropathy. See a neurologist.

Please see a doctor, it sort of sounds like sciatica but you need to have a professional examine you and make a diagnosis.

First of all if the problem is occuring at work, this may be a work related injury.  Talk to your HR department  and supervisor.  You may want to open a workmen compensation case up.  When people work on computers there alot of injuries that can arise for it.  I would suggest a ergonomic evaluation to make sure your station is set up properly.  Sometimes if the chair is too high or too low or your posture is poor resulting back problems may ensue.\n\nIn general, muscle spasm are very similiar to muscle cramps.  To tell if you have muscle spasm, lay on your belly and have someone feel both sides of you lower back.  Is one side tighter than the other.  If so then you are having muscle spasms.\n\nIn term of slipped disk, if you did something and your disk slipped you may experience pain in your lower back near your spine.  This can occur without compressing a nerve.  If it is a large slipped disk and large enough to push on a nerve, then in addition to back pain you will also have radicular symptoms.  In other words, you will have pains shooting down you legs or experience leg numbness and or weakness.\n\nKeep in mind, that muscle spasms and slipped disk can occur together.  From you description, I suspect that it is mainly muscle spasms.  Usually people are doing something fairly exertional when you get a slipped disk.\n\nGo see a doctor.  MRI and Xray are COMPLETELY USELESS initially.  Start with conservative treatment namely ice you back, NSAIDS like motrin and alleve, physical therapy and ergonomic evaluation.  The reason i say mri and xrays are useless initially is because at this stage of the ballgame even if you have a slipped disk conservative management is still the treatment.  If you find a slipped disk without pain going down the leg you would not do a cortisone injection and who in there right mind would want to do back surgery without first trying conservative therapy.  If conservative therapy works and your back gets better, who cares what the MRI said and it would have be a waste of money to do it.  Xrays do not pick up muscle spasms or slipped disk.

It's restless leg syndrome. Believe it or not, I actually get it my right foot and left arm sometimes. Its maddening! The itchiness sounds like an allergy. Go see a different Doctor. {erhaps a specialist. There is medication for it. Also, too much Tylenol PM can produce those symptoms as well. Tina

maybe you have ants in your bed...from eating white bread and bologna...or maybe it's spiders, from the bad trip you took....or maybe you just have poor circulation? Look, heres a website for ya...\n\n \nWHAT CAUSES those pins and needles? Dr. Robert Daroff, a professor of neurology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, explains that when sustained pressure is exerted on a portion of your leg, or any distal limb, one of two things usually happens. In some cases, arteries can become compressed, making them unable to supply local tissues and nerve cells with the nutrients (mainly oxygen and glucose) they need to function properly.\n\nOther times, nerve pathways can become blocked, preventing normal transmission of electrochemical impulses to the brain. Some of the nerves, starved or pinched or both, stop firing while others fire hyperactively. This leads to mixed signals being sent to the brain, where they are interpreted as burning, prickling or tingling feelings. It is these sensations, known medically as paresthesia, that alert you to move your foot.\n\nWhen you do so, the pressure on your arteries and nerves is released. As nutrient-rich blood flows back into the area and nerve cells start firing more regularly, the “pins and needles” feeling often intensifies until the neurons re-establish their normal transmission of electrochemical impulses.\n\nTrue, this is an uncomfortable process, but it’s actually beneficial.\n If we didn’t feel discomfort, we wouldn’t adjust our position — and harm could result. “Permanent damage can occur if blood flow is restricted and nerves are compressed for many hours,” according to Daroff.

Probably a pinched nerve.  I had a numb back before, and that's what I was told.  It eventually went away.  The only way to be sure, though, is to see a doctor, but you already know that.

Its a pinched nerve. use cold pompresses, and pain killers for the first few days, then try heat, If it continuse more than a few days, go to the doctor.

It sounds like sciatica and you may need an injection from the doctor and some physio. The GP will also offer you some anti-inflammatory tablets for pain relief.

If this is in your right leg, kind of toward the outside and wraps around to the ankle, especially in the upper leg.\n\n   I would guess it's a pinched nerve from your back. Have you done anything lately, pulled something heavy, lifted something real heavy. You did something over the last couple of days to have this happen.\n\n   Your toes or feet might start burning. I think you'd better see a doctor now before it gets out of control, you'll have pain you won't forget, you'll have to have something for it.

Pinched nerve possibly, go to the doctors to be sure.

at the back of your head at the top of your spine there is a groove  .this is where all the nerve endings are, try massaging that spot also move your fingertips over your scalp and feel for some sore spots, massage those too as these are the trigger points for whatever ails your back and shoulders

itching, blood and burning from where? I'm assuming your "hind end". If so, sounds like hemorroids. Just try some Preparation H.
