Tingly fingers...

[babe]

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)

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

So I have a beef with the out-of-context snipet of ER's quote.

Dal said he's not a doc, but went ahead with a stat about it being likely something at 80% confidence. Pretty good with no exam or test, but it is a population stat that could very well fit within oh say 20% give or take. Point was pretty good.

I said I could do better than a doc if I could write a prescription. Clearly joking. It meant I could do absolutely nothing for him. Ask Game what I think of prescribed medicines generally.

Then after another joke I said. . . "Seriously. . . ." Between pinched nerves, MS or a lot of other possible causes, I consider diabetes to be the most serious, and the most treatable. A clear diagnostic test for diabetes costs less than a visit to a chiropractor. A number of others have said as much, even ER.

Although it probably does not apply in your case, folks quitting smoking often experience tingling in both the hands and feet. Temporarily.

A pinched sciatic nerve in the lower back can be extremely painful in the legs. I've had two major low back injuries. One involved a pinched sciatic nerve. Corrected by intermittent traction treatments over a three week period. If it's slightly compressed, you can feel a tingling in the feet. Better tingling then outright pain. But easy enough to touch base with your primary doc or an orthopedic, and get X Rays on your lower back. Find out if the problem is originating in your low back.

Pinched nerves in the neck can lead to pain or tingling in the arm or hand. Since you have tingling in the hand and feet, that's a bit odd, unless there is a problem with both your vertebra in your neck as well as your low back.

The fact that you have had low back pain for months and tingling in the feet should be enough to seek expert opinions, starting with the X Ray.

I too depended on chiropractic for years to alleviate low back pain. But it was not something, at least at first, where one or two visits, and volla, all better. But it did help. I depended on my chiropractor. People say once a bad back, always a bad back, but over time, a long time, my low back healed to the point where I have not been to a chiropractor in years.

Do yourself a favor and get checked out. Get a full set of spinal X Rays to determine if spinal issues are in fact behind the tingling in your fingers and feet.
