What Causes Lower Back Pain And Tingling On Legs?

I am having constant aching pain in my lower back which is causing tingling to my lower legs. I also have neck pain which is causing tingling into my shoulders and arms. I take Lyrica and Ultram twice a day but it is not relieving my pain. I have not been able to leave my home all week.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem of pain is most likely due to nerve compression by disc herniation or osteochondrosis.A physical examination with an Orthopedician will give clue for that and an X ray followed by MRI if needed of cervical spine and lumbosacral spine will confirms that.In such cases i treat my patients with NSAIDs like Aceclofenac muscle relaxants like Thiocolchicoside neurotropic drugs and send them for physiotherapy and exercises.If no improvement with this or the compression of nerve is more then a surgical correction can be considered.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
