Lately, I've been experiencing this annoying tingling and numbness in my left hand and leg. It's mostly when I'm sitting or trying to sleep, and it's accompanied by some lower back pain. Walking seems to alleviate it, but the discomfort kicks back in when I'm stationary. It's getting pretty irritating, so I was wondering if you could suggest what I might do to ease this. Any medicine ideas or other ways to find some relief?

Your symptoms may be suggestive of neuropathy. The cause of the neuropathy may be various reasons, which will require investigations to be confirmed. You may require imaging studies to rule out referred pain from spinal cord abnormalities or evaluation of your blood sugar values to rule out diabetic neuropathy.
