Right - I'm here for some reassurance mainly. I'm absolutely exhausting myself with these symptoms, pretty much they're;

1) Bad lower back
2) Intermittent pins and needles/tingling in my feet/hands

I went to a doctor yesterday and said it was mechanical back pain, but the pins and needles only started last night/today. Bare in mind...I went out last night and got through a fair amount of whisky with some tequila thrown in too - so the pins and needles could very well be that...

I've got a couple of questions around spinal tumours. So my good friend Google told me that a bad back is the primary symptom for a spinal tumour - how bad would this back be? I mean mine hurts but its not debilitating - some codeine all but removes the pain, I can't even feel it now and I took a codeine like 6 hours ago.

Tingling, pins and needles...any links to spinal tumours?

Thanks all!
