Painful Needles And Pins In Sole. Earlier Had Knee Wear & Tear So Did Muscle Strengthening Exercise. Treatment?
I have been going to gym since may. I was doing mainly Zumba, Pilates. Dance aerobics. After a while I started to get pain in my knees. I went for an X-ray and the report was wear and tear. I stopped activities for a week. I gelt better and at the gym they told me to do some weights on my leg to strengthen my knee muscle. For about six weeks I was fine. But now I get this needles and pins in my sole and it gets worse at night. Please can you tell me what I should do?

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Due to compression of this nerve root there is tingling numbness in your leg and pain associated with it.
I will advise you to do MRI spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
