Dizziness and Left leg pain/numbness

[SickandTired88543]

Hello Everyone:

I would appreciate some insight on my situation, even if you haven't experienced exactly what I am experiencing.  Two days ago, I woke up in the morning at 7/8 am and started my day as usual.  At about 10/11 am I suddenly experienced extreme faintness/dizziness and simultaneously, my left leg became weak.  I had difficultly walking properly for approximately an hour.  I experienced no symptoms when sitting down but became very dizzy and felt a strange weak feeling in my left leg when standing up.  I tried to rest a bit and after hte dizziness subsided, my left leg began to ache at the knee and I felt a cold sensation like cold water rushing through my leg.  My knee felt colder when my knee was bent.  At this time, my knee is only slightly cold but it is achy still.  If anyone has any suggestions as to what this could be, please post a comment.  I am very nervous and would appreciate your input

All the best,

Sick and Tired.

Hey there. I have had the same thing happening to me. I have been having massive dizziness spells. I mean I feel like I am on a merry go round, thats how fast the room seems to be spinning. I have also been having fits and alot of pain in my left leg, but at the same time terrible pains on the right side of my back. I have no idea what is causing this. I have a doctors appt monday to have it checked out. If I get any sort of explanation I will be sure to post to you and let you know what they tell me. I have a feeling they are going to tell me its a pinched nerve or sciatica or something along those lines.
