and to a lesser degree, toes, hands and feet.

Any idea what it is? I'm actually starting to get concerned. Diabetes? Heart issues? I have had lower back pain for about six months now and I'm wondering if I have a pinched nerve that is causing it.

Any help would be very much appreciated. I am 40 and worry and am starting to worry about my health.

That's sucks man. Getting old ain't for ******* that's for sure.
I have no idea what is wrong with ya and no advice so I'm sorry for that. Hope you get some answers and get to feeling better.

I swear, year after year I get more aches and pains. My knees are shot. My right rotator cuff is ruined. My back is usually always at least a little sore. My index finger on my right hand is deformed and painful from a forklift crash. My pinky finger on my left hand is deformed and sore from a fist fight in my youth (still have bone fragments floating around in there)

Only good thing is that after years of working long hours on my feet, I now have a sit down (mostly) job

Careful what you wish for, I wished I could find a balance between working on my feet all the time and sitting down for 8 hours.
 
The punched nerve is a definite possibility. Diabetes could be the problem as well. For sure go to the damn doctor already.

I have a pretty good balance. I actually like my job ok right now.

First time I could say that since I worked at arctic circle
 
Don't be an idiot! Go see a doctor instead of know-it-alls on a Jazz message board. Seriously, check yourself, we kinda like you around here.
 
I bought an inversion table and am going to set that up the next couple days and start using that to see if it helps with my back and in turn any nerve issues that may or may not exist, and therefore, my tingling.
 
I have a compressed disc in my neck and I get tingly hands, usually starting worst at my pinkies and getting a not at all at my thumbs. I also get a "tired" mid back and need to get it adjusted every once in a while. If you have back pain and tingles, find a good chiropractor and get him to fix it. That's what I do. Chiropractors are under rated and should be able to fix you up in just a couple visits.

The inversion table is a good thing and it will help, but it will take much longer than chiropractor to see results. Like weeks. With a good chiropractor you will be at least 50% better after the first visit, and usually done by the second visit. They will also give you some simple exercises to do to prevent future pain.

I have heard those tables do work for lower back pain. Kind of stretches the spine and decompresses it
 
Not a doctor but 80% of the time you're looking at some sort of nerve problem if you're getting that tingly sensation, particularly given your history of back pain. Seek medical help asap if you haven't done so already

I could be better than a doctor if I could write prescriptions.

I'm an expert on tingly. I diagnosed Brian Williams on a mere TV interview, 3rd-party. Lots of folks running for Pres, any one of them could be the cause. The cure is about two years. Except if I get elected it'll be cured in one day. lol.

Seriously. . . .most likely it is blood circulation, second most it could be nerves. Get your blood sugar/tolerance checked. It doesn't cost much to do that, and that is the real danger in delay. Do not put it off.

Man.. this is amazing.

Really though, don't be that guy that doesn't go to the doctor for crap. Start with your primary care physician and get your glucose, A1C, cholesterol, and blood pressure checked. They're the easiest to knock off the list, and the cheapest.

Don't worry about what else it could be, don't be on web MD checking.. cuz you'll end up thinking onset of Lou Gehrigs or Walking Corpse syndrome. Cross that bridge later, and only if it's needed(which it's probably not)
 
Ho gayz,
Am dizzyed ahd cant balence. Dont know how 2 see out of my eyes. face iz numb, drooping to left with tingling arm. Wut shood i do? Will wait to here frum my interwebz buds befor taking any further ackshon.
 
Go to the doc and prepare yourself for a possible wild goose chase. I've had this for the last year and we're still trying to figure it out. Just because you have tingly fingers doesn't mean it's a pinched nerve at all. Do you have with both of your hands? Usually, to my knowledge, tingly fingers due to a pinched nerve is mostly on just one side of the body. It could be as simple as just having anxiety to diabetes to thoracic outlet syndrome to ms to lord knows what. Just prepare yourself to possible not know and have it take forever.
Youtube the Roos test and try that for fun. Haha
