What Causes Numbness And Burning Sensation In Lower Extremities?

I ve been experiencing burning and numbness in bilateral lower extremities when standing and walking. Having to stop and bend forward to keep from collapsing. Lower back pain that radiates to left hip. I am a 49 year old female with a hx. of hypertension and muscular fibrosis of the kidneys. No changes with medications. Also have hx. of optic neurosis 15 years ago. I was told that I should ask about MS. Thank you for your time,Kim Barnes

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such diffuse pain could be due to fibromyalgia and it may not be Multiple sclerosis, such symptoms mostly triggers with emotional stress, neither this could be due to old history of neurotic pathology, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
