Is That Leg Pain the Result of a Spine or Nerve Injury?

Leg pain can be intermittent or constant and can range from a dull ache to a searing, throbbing, or burning sensation. Numbness may be felt like a loss of sensation or a cold, icy feeling in one or more areas of the leg. This may be the symptom of a variety of underlying causes or conditions related to the spine, and getting a correct diagnosis is essential to informing the most effective course of treatment. That pain may be caused due to a problem in the lower back, the pelvis, or a problem that originates within the leg. Common causes of pain in one or both legs include: Spinal nerve compression or irritation, Spinal cord compression, Pelvic and hip problems, Infection, Cauda equina syndrome, Tumors and cysts. A consultation with a spine care specialist can help to determine if your leg (or arm) pain is indicative of a spine injury, a nerve injury or both.
