numbness & pain in back, legs, and feet

by Lynnette
(Alabama)

If I sit or stand a few minutes later my legs and feet start to get weak and painful to the point it hurts to walk. Mostly on my left side. It gets worse when I lay down. I will wake up in the night my bladder if full and my leg is crampings after I go to the bathroom the cramping in my leg lessons. If I lay on my left side my arm also starts to hurt and go weak. I've seen doctors and all they say is "that" strange I've never heard of that" and they do nothing.




Can you tell me what might be wrong and what type of doctor to see?
Hi Lynette,
Your problem is not coming from your feet but is highly suggestive of a herniated disk. I would advise you to have your back examined by a back specialist to rule that out.

starstarstarstarstar 		back pain
by: bob

I have dealt with back pain for over 30years with 2 operations. This can help, sleep with a pillow under your legs or between your legs if you sleep on your side. If you can find a way to take the weight off your legs like hang from a tree with your arms and then slowly stand putting pressure slowly to your legs.

I have the same symptoms and they are getting worse. I can barely stand long enough to make my family dinner. Dr says hmmmmm?? I am at a loss. My right foot now actually burns and tingles. Everything is supposedly ok with my bloodwork. I have given up and I just deal with it.

Hi,
"hmmmmm" is not a diagnosis I would pay good money for. Why not see another doctor, maybe and orthopedist or neurologist?
