Leg pain often starts as a problem in the lumbar spine, or low back. Leg pain and numbness can be experienced in many formsâsome patients describe the pain as aching, searing, throbbing, or burning, or like standing in a bucket of ice water. The pain can also be accompanied by neurological symptoms, such as a pins-and-needles sensation, numbness, or weakness.
