causes of numbness and burning pain in lower back
Peripheral Neuropathy. In some people, leg and foot (and sometimes arm and hand) pain can be the result of neuropathy, a disorder of the peripheral motor, sensory and autonomic nerves that connect the spinal cord to our muscles, skin and internal organs. Neuropathy can cause numbness, tingling and a heavy sensation. âIt usually starts in the feet and may cause a burning sensation in the legs,â Fesperman says. In some cases, people may lose their ability to feel sensation in their legs, which can put them at risk for injury and infection.
