Dr.Keerthivasan - Spine Surgeon in Chennai

Why Can Numbness or Tingling Travel From the Back to the Leg? Numbness or tingling in the leg can sometimes be related to irritation or compression of nerves in the lower spine. When a spinal nerve is affected, symptoms may travel from the lower back into the buttock, thigh, calf, or foot. Some people may also experience radiating pain, pins-and-needles sensations, numbness, or weakness along the affected area. The pattern and severity of symptoms can vary depending on the underlying cause. If these symptoms persist, keep returning, or are accompanied by weakness, a clinical evaluation can help identify whether the lower spine or nerves are involved and guide the appropriate treatment.
