Three Back Surgeries Done, Pain In Lower Back, Hip, Leg. Numbness, Tingling In Hands. Treatment?
I have had 3 prior back surgeries and I again am having low back pain, hip pain, and the pain also is going down my leg. What's different this time though, is that I am also hurting in right side. I had been exercising, but not high impact. Thought maybe I just over did it, but this is progressing. I also am having numbness in both hands and tingling. The pain is more on the right side than the left. About everything, sitting, driving, walking is beginning to be affected. Suggesions?

Hello.In function of your medical history you should go to a neurosurgeon.
He will request a lower back MRI and also should consider to request a cervical MRI to rule out cervical disc herniation that may be causing numbness and tingling in both hands.I wish you good health.
