I have lower back pain at times when standing and sitting and have numbness in my lower left leg and foot when walking. At the same time I get light headed. It seems to start with the pressure I feel in my back when walking but doctors deny that and say it is probably caused by the atrial fibrillation that I also have.
Do any here with lower back problems have a light headed feeling proven to be caused by their backs?
ive got this too im even light headed when sitting and when i stand or walk my left leg and foot go numb and i feel like im going to fall over and i walk funny i do av oa though in my left knee im going back to the doctor in 2 weeks
I cannot get people to agree that the lightheadedness stems from my back. Like you even when sitting. In my case it is confused with symptoms of atrial fibrillation, BP and side effects of medications.
I have made an appointment to see a neurosurgeon privately on December 11th. The NHS and their semi privatised new MSK ( musculoskeletal service set up at a cost of 210 million pounds 
service have been messing me around since January with inappropriate appointments usually at faraway places.
will you have to pay ? i live on the isle of wight my light headiness started in late summer and thought it would go away im just learning to live with it i sense my doctor thinks im a nuisance and just says its oa and gives me more pain killers its like brain fog he did say its anxeity but i dont agree my hips and back do hurt and the back of my neck hope you get it sorted derek and if you do let me know hopefully
