Hi I have had allot of tingling sensation of and down my legs along with pressure, not all the time seems one day will be good day and other days it would be bad. I’m very new to this injury like about 4 months. I had an abscess around t7 had surgery and rehab now at home. If anyone could let me know what to expect any suggestions on the tingling

Hello and welcome to the site Puckster.

Welcome to the world of nerve pain too, another little surprise from the sci gods. Does it feel like a constant buzzing, like you are having your feet crushed in a vice that is wired up to the mains?
Eternal pins and needles?

Yep, it's called nerve pain or neuro something or other. I'm sure wiser members will share their experiences of it with you.
It's something you will get used to, it helps not to think about it; this thread has set mine off something chronic!

Welcome to the site. You will get used to it and sometimes it gets better with time. My tingling was constant now it is on and off but have way more pain so it is a double edge sword. Good luck on your progression.

welcome Puckster, you will get used to dealing with the tingling - take each day as it comes and learn your limitations, dreamer is right you will have good and bad days. Talk to your doctors about pain meds especially those that have nerve blocking ability.

hi Puckster,

the pain you get sounds like it is neuropathic pain which can be controlled with single or combination drug therapy. As sir Dancin' said it helps to be active as physical and mental activity can mediate the pain; have a chat with your doc.

welcome to the site!

You do not say that the tingling is unbearable, so if it is just strange and unnerving, it will eventually become "normal" to you. If it tortures you, talk to your doctor about meds. There are many threads on this forum discussing meds for this problem. Search "gabapentin", "baclofen" and that will get you started.

I don't see the need for pills. Everyone's answer is pills. Is there actually painful? Or are you just curious or annoyed by the feelings? You didn't say anything about pain, so I wouldn't jump strait to drugs.
