What Causes Tingling Sensation In Feet With Pain In Lower Back?
Hi, recently i ve been suspected of having a slipped disc due to the symptoms i ve been having such as tingling of nerves, weakness and occasional sharp pain across my lower back and lower limbs. Especially on the top of my feet. But when i did an MRI scan, it shown no signs of slipped disc according to the doctor s report, except for a L5 radiculopathy. Is there a possibility where the MRI did not detect the slipped disc or is there another possible diagnosis?

Hello,
The L5 radiculopathy can be related to sciatica pain. Sciatica can cause tingling sensation in the feet and pain in the lower leg. I suggest to use an anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest to do gentle stretching exercises for relief.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
