Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Since you already has episodes of Deep Vein thrombosis (blood clots in legs) , there are chances that you have developed them again. Specially if you are not on any anti coagulants.
Your tingling (needles) in legs can be as a result of back sprain you had. You need to see a doctor for evaluation of Disc Protrusion (PIVD) and also if you have developed DVT again.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask me through Premium Query directed on my name. I will help you my best.
Stay Healthy.
