What Causes A Vibration Feeling On Foot And Ankle With Back Problems?

I am a 65 year old healthy diabetic (type 1) and recently had an episode of my foot and ankle feeling like vibrations were coming from the floor up to mid shin. I have some back problems so I took a mild muscle relaxer and the sensation stopped. Is this something I sould be concerned about?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
I would like to ask you about your weight and how laong have u been suffering f e om backache..

And yes the symptoms correlate in a way but i would.like to be more specific like are u having any numbness or loss of sensation and are you having any radiation of pain from back or hip towards the foot and toes...if yes and u are obese.. then it could be SCIATICA and yes it relieves with rest and muscle relaxant.. a few clinical tests will confirm sciatica for you.
I advice you to not lift heavy weights, not attempting to sit or get up from floor and use proper posture while working or sitting and physiotherapy.
