I have been suffering from tingling in my hands and feet for almost a year now. The tingling is pretty much constant, but some days it's more noticeable than others and swaps from one hand to the other and each foot. I have seen a neurologist who can't give me an answer to the cause. I have had an MRI on my head and that has come back clear.

I work as a healthcare assistant and have always suffered a bit of lower back pain and i'm noticing it more these days. Mainly on my left hand side and just like a dull ache when moving and bending. The pain is also sometimes down my bum and my leg.

The query I have really is to whether the tingling could be caused from this lower back pain? The tingling is what is worrying me more than anything really, my mum has MS so this was my first thought when the tingling first came, but my neurologist seems adamant it's not MS.

I'm debating whether to see a chiropractor about my problem, would this be the right person to see?

Any advice/help would be great!

Thanks
