varicose pain due to chronic back pain Posted: 06-24-08 12:32pm
hello, i started getting varicose veins on
my right leg since i had my son, he is now
7yrs old. then i was diagnosed with
degenerate facet desease, herniated disc
and arthritis for two years now. since
then i turned mylife around, started
eating healthy went organic and chicken
only. no red meat. exercise regularly and
staying active. for about a year now, i
get this feeling, tingling, crawling,
feels really warm on my right leg which i
think it's from my varicose veins, i cant
sit or stand for too long. i'am constant
shaking my legs off. and now i also feel
it on my left leg but i have no varicose
veins from it. the tingling feelings only
starts from knee down.
My mother has severe vericose veins, i was
wondering if i get them laser with that
solve the problems. I take a lot of pain
meds, from norco, motrin,lyrica for nerve
pain, aleve and ambien to get some sleep.
I had an ultrasound on my legs but
everything is normal. i appreciated your
input.

It sounds like what you're describing is
degenerative disk disease, which can
become worse over time and can lead to
tingling feelings in your legs. Given the
severity of your tingling feeling and the
functional limitations it's now placing on
you, it probably is time to consult with a
neurologist, You also can start with your
primary care physician, who can help you
determine your next step or who you need
to see. It seems that symptoms aren't due
to vericose veins.
Good luck!

Hello Msyoga,
I would highly recommend that you seek the
advice of a spinal surgeon/neurologist.
It is not wise for any of us to try and
quess what our problem is. We all need
the advice of a medical professional.
Seek out the very best spinal surgeon
neurologist that you can find in your
area.
I agree with Zak han that the symptoms
most likely are not due to your vericose
veins. I am not a doctor, however, from
my personal experience and from what I
have read, when you get that
"tingling,crawling, feels really warm on
my right leg" feeling, it can be caused by
a pinched nerve in your spine. Only way
to know is to seek the advise of the spine
surgeon or/and neurologist.
