Lower Back Pain and Leg Numbing |
|
|
|
Often, the symptoms of
lower back pain slowly develop and mobility of a person becomes
difficult. The symptoms of lower back pain start with weakness of the
waist and legs.
General lower back pain due to muscles
spasms and strains causes no side effects except for some mild pain
in the thighs. But the pain has a history of traveling to other
parts. The cure of this kind of pain is rest, hot water pad
application and cold water treatment. Along with them, stretching
exercises for the lower and mid back are also helpful in reducing the
pain and the spasms.
But when the symptoms
of the pain cause numbness in the legs and buttocks, they cause
difficulty in moving and sitting. Even lying down becomes a problem.
This usually points to the compression of sciatica nerve. The
sciatica nerve of the body, that enters the lumbar region, is under
pressure and exertion. This exertion is either by the herniated disc
or decompression of the joints.
The lower back pain and leg numbing is
a serious sign of nerve disorder of the legs. If you delay the
treatment, you might harm the nerves. This could cause permanent loss
of sensation in your legs. If you experience lower back pain and leg
numbing, you should act immediately and visit a doctor.
The doctor would take an MRI or an
x-ray to confirm the cause of the numbing. He would then prescribe
the medicines and exercises. It’s very essential to take care of
such disorders in your body.
