I have OA in spine and pretty much all joints. I get steroid injection 2-3 times a year. Lately I've been having these sensations in my legs, not a lot but occasionally and wondering what it could be? **neuropathy? Any one have anything like this?

    I have been having sensations in both legs and I presumed it was coming from my back due to having had back surgery 16 mnths ago on my spine. you gave me food for thought.

    thanks

    What kind of sensations? I was getting horrible spasms, plus a lot of burning pain in my groin. Burning pain is nerve pain.

    All of this was cause from the OA in my back. The spinal fluid was cut off and nerves were pinched. I originally got injections. Two weeks ago I had a Laminectomy and a fusion of L3,4,5. The bad spasms have now stopped. I am still getting mild ones in my thigh. It is going to take awhile before the nerves calm down.

    All of this started 20 years ago. You don't have surgery until it's really bad.

    Good luck
