Question : I've been well, tingling/pins and needles gone from T5-T6 area, I continued to ice/heat for a few days. Yesterday, I had a new stiff lower/mid back pain below my usual previous/chronic pain which seems to be back to it's normal. This is new and felt like muscle. Last night I had a shooting hot electric pain in my right leg above the ankle on the inside, Pain was short lived and happened a few times. I've had this before in arm. My MRI (before accident) didn't show any signs of bulges or compression (except for mild impression on spinal cord). I'm thinking just inflamed? The pain is short lived. continue ice/heat will be ok?
