Pain in my legs with tingling - vera

Do you have history of back problems? I have the same problem and I have had 2 back surgeries and still need another one since I have been diagnosed again with severe right foraminal stenosis. I am just tolerating it. If you can get it checked out because it may be coming from your back. Those nerves go all the way to the toes. I wish you luck and hope you get better. Some diabetic patients have these symptoms too. Do not wait too long to have it looked at. I do not wish that pain on anyone.

Pain on back of legs - dsauverwald

I sometimes get pain in the backs of my legs where they hit my office chair. I talked to my doctor about it and it just due to the pressure of your legs against the chair when sitting for long periods of time. She told me to do massage, get up and stretch every so often, and if needed put a heating pad under my legs from time to time. Hope this helps!

At least once per hour...sm - weird

I know a lot will disagree, but I've found it helpful to just stand up and walk around for a few minutes. I do this once every hour or hour and a half. It helps me relieve the pressure.

Good luck.

I agree with that - getting up every so often is excellent!

I have been working as an MT for only 2 months and I noticed I have a lot of heel pain and have to switch feet with the foot pedal sometimes. I also noticed that I get some pain in the back of my thighs and my calves. Just today I have started experiencing some tingling in my big toe of my right foot. Also, some numbness up to my ankle but not as noticable. Has anyone else experienced this? ...

I'm going completely blank on this one. The patient entered the hospital for chest pain.

He denies any radiation to the _____, arms, or back. ...

Hi, everyone. I'm sure that this is a common problem in the transcription field, but I was hoping someone had some sort of remedy. I've been typing every day for the past couple of weeks about 9 hours a day and one of my fingers (the one I use for the Backspace key) is really starting to hurt every time I push down on it. It's right at the second knuckle on the digit and it's starting to become problematic. Any suggestions from more experienced MTs? Thanks. ...

An old and chronic problem I have when doing MT work is that my right shoulder aches after just a shor time at the keyboard. (I am left-handed). It seems the constant mouse movement irritate it a lot. I am now doing VRE type work and boy has it made it worse. I know my right side is probably weaker than my left and I can work on strengthening it somehow but I wondered if anyone has any ideas for this? I do not like being in pain. I've thought about a new chair ...
