Q: New Tingling, Pricking Numbness In Toes.

i have been having testicular pain, then lower back pain. The link above explains the sutuation.

Today while taking a shower, I went to wash underneath and then I noticed my toes on my left foot were tingling. I thought nothing of it but its been a few hours and now its both feet, its not really a numbness, just a tingling or prikling all around my feet but mostly the toes.

I have been having some lower back pain and wanted to know if this could cause my symptoms in my feet. I dont think its circulatory because I was in the hospital last week and they ran and echocardiogram and everything was fine.

Hi,

i also suffer from tingling/pins and needles in my foot, specifically the toes of my left foot. This can definitely be related to back problems; mine happen when I sit for more than around 15 mins at a time. I had l5/s1 posterior fusion with screws etc. In march this year, and at the same time I had dynesys at l4/l5. Postop recovery has been terribly slow and the most consistent symptom I have is this tingling. So I would put money on it being related to your back.

Good luck,
rolfie
