What Causes Tingling In Fingertips And Leg Pain?
For the past month I have had bilateral tingling in the fingertips, toe tips, and pain in both legs, hip to toes. It is nearly impossible to put weight on legs, especially when assending up stairs. I do have DDD, but it has never been this bad. Also, one night of excessive itching drove me crazy. The next night and since there have been no itching. Any suggestions of where to start for a diagnosis? Thank you

Hello,
Thank you for suing healthcare magic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I would start to look for diagnosis in the lower back with Xrays and MRI of that region and EMG to evaluate the nerves. Discal hernia might be a cause. Also spondyloarthrosys, spondylolysis or spondylolystesis.
I wish you quick recovery.
