I have a constant pain in my right buttock and the outside of my right calf. I have pins and needles in my right shoulder intermittently. the pain is not present when I run or walk. I am 69 and run and walk regularly over long distances 30 to 50 miles.
Hello, I have studied your case. There is possibility of transient ischemic episode leading to pins and needle on right side. You may need clinical examination to confirm neurological weakness, BP and other vital parameters. Another probability is due to compression of this nerve root there are pins and needle in shoulder. You may require MRI brain and spine. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, you can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this answers your query.
