Why Do I Feel Pins And Needles In Back, Fingers And Thigh?

Hi

Please can you help me out with answers.

A recent MRI scan shows C5/C6 posterior bulge with indentation of the cord. Also along with right arm weakness and anterior right thigh paraesthesia.

I have been suffering for 3 years with pins and needles in fingers,pins and needles in mid back area (bra strap) chronic lower back pain, and most recently pins and needles in right thigh which only comes on when I lay down .

Hi,
From history it seems that you got degenerative changes in your vertebral spines causing irritation and pinched nerve problem.
If it is not relieved with physiotherapy, traction and short way diathermy then consult Spine specialist and get examined.
Some surgical intervention might required.
Ok and take care.
