I went to a pHysical therapist to assist me with a pulled ham string and IT Band. He began testing me to see how limber I was. He hut me real bad. During the night I had the most outrageous sensations. I t felt like Ice cold running water was going down my leg...my quad area felt numb and tingling and the runnin water goes down from the lower back, hip all the way down my leg to the foot and across the toes. SOmetimes it is very painful and feels like it is either an extremely hot rod or an extremely cold rod that is inside me. I feel cold all the time, but I know that I am not. Am unable to sleep at night due to the discomfort and the icy cold sensations...as if i was out in the ocean and so numb it burns! that kind of cold. Please help me figure this out. Thank you.
Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. All the symptoms in the description suggests that you have Lumbar disc disease with radiculopathy (parenthesis in the form of tingling, numbness, feeling of coldness etc.)An MRI scan of the lumbar spine is necessary to make an exact diagnosis. Momentarily, these sensations can be alleviated with the use of Pregabalin and Methyl calamine supplements. I suggest you to consult an orthopedic surgeon and follow his advice. Hope this information is helpful. Good day
