Hi. I'm having a problem with my left leg. My problem is that when I run on my treadmill for about 15 minutes my whole left leg gives out on me from my thigh down. I have no feeling in it. I can barely walk as if my leg was asleep. This only happens to me on my left leg and not my right. Anyone know whats going on?

I have similar problems like that and have been going to a chiropractor. Works wonders. read on ....
I Googled this for you and found this answer on Yahoo Answers:

I'm experiencing severe pain in my left hip, knee, and calf muscle. Sometimes my entire lower left leg goes numb. I don't want to go back to the doctor because they have only wasted my time and money. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be the problem with my leg and what I can do about it? Thanks.

It sounds like sciatica from your back problem and usually means something is putting pressure on your spine, don't mess with this, go to the Dr. when the pain radiates down the leg your really going to have to find out where the disc is out. You can try the McKenzie exercises look on the May Clinic website under back pain and Mckenzie exercises they really help.
