Anyone know what can be done against a tingling area of nerves ?
I have had a small, round area of tingling nerves on my lower back for about two years now, on the right of my spine. I saw doctors and visited a physiotherapist, they agreed to my thesis about the oversensitive nerves and said that they think it comes from the accident I had ten years ago, when I was seven. I broke my left leg and as a consequence the bone grew more quickly, so that it turned out to be 1.5 cm longer than the healthy one. Due to this my hips and back are unbalanced, and the nerves shortened on the right side, I was told. Now I’m, just looking for ways to get rid of the tingling, I was told to ’‘relax’’....easier said than done-can’t really relax for the rest of my life…... ;)

There is an alternative medicine practice that you might find helpful. It helped me after a car accident.
“Neural Therapy was originally developed in Germany by the Huneke brothers. It involves the injection of Procaine (also known as Novocain), a common local anesthetic, into various but very specific areas. Neural Therapy is based on the theory that trauma can produce long-standing disturbances in the electrochemical function of tissues. Among the types of tissues affected by trauma include scars, nerves or a cluster of nerves called ganglions. A correctly administered Neural Therapy injection can often instantly and lastingly resolve chronic long standing illness and chronic pain.”

The text seems to describe exactly my situation- also it might be worth a thought that the six, rather large, scars on my leg from my external fixation could have something to do with the pain ! Thanks a lot for your answer @marinelife !
Modalities that may help and will certainly do no harm.
Acupuncture
Chiropractor
Find a physiotherapist who will design some stretching and strengthening exercise. I am surprised that the P/T you saw didn’t suggest that.
I too have some asymmetry and chronic lower back discomfort due to a mild scoliosis. I have found that lying on a heating pad for ten minutes and then doing my custom exercises help a lot.
My neurologist recommended that I use capsaicin for my meralgia paresthetica. As far as I can tell, the capsaicin overloads the nerve signals and gives me relief (my sensation is of scalding hot water running down my thigh, as well as tingling and stinging).
If you try it, make sure to wash your hands well! Even hours later, I would forget and touch my eyes, and it’s quite painful.
@Rarebear: I am basing my remark on my personal experiences with both. Your site needs to give a percentage of bad outcomes in relationship to number of patients receiving treatment.
Certainly physicians/surgeons do not always strike one out of the park.
Scuniper, pls read my private txt.
@gailcalled No, but their results are based upon science and evidence.
You might also try yoga but make sure your instructor is certified. Iyengar yoga has a difficult certification process and is very careful about modifications for injuries.
