Low back pain, and burning thighs

by Jenny Wren, Nov 12, 2006 12:00AM
I have always seemed to have problems with my left leg since the birth of my son.  I had a horrible forcep delivery, with epidural, my left leg hurt so bad the next day, the nurse told me that they sometimes knick the sciatic nerve when they give the epidural, lasted 3 days, but since then, certain things will aggravate it.  So, back in 2002 while building our home, I fell in a hold in our yard, my right leg went in all the way up to where it hooks on your body, I fell back on my rear, I had a hard time sitting for more than 5 minutes, my tailbone hurt very bad, so I went to the chiro, he adjusted me and pushed around on my lower back, by the the time I got home, 10 minutes away, my legs were burning, not a painful burning, just felt like someone rubbed ben-gay on them, just above the knees to groin.  Well, I took a walk the other day with my sister, it was 3 miles, I woke up yesterday, and the burning is back.  I have no weakness in my legs, but they are definently out of shape. Could this be a disk problem with the lower back pain and burning, or could it be muscular?  Any other time when I sit, the burning isn't there, it just feels like like bugs crawling under my skin, or little buzzing sensations.  I think I need to suggest a MRI of lumbar area.  I just found out in Sept that I have a bulging disk in cervical area, C-3, C-4, and I do get a burning pain sometimes with that.  Im a mess, and my husband keeps telling me that there is nothing wrong with me, its all in my head!!! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, when I'm sitting in a wheelchair you can tell me that there is nothing wrong.
