What Causes Weakness, Tingling And Pain In Both Arms And Legs?

Posted on Fri, 15 Apr 2016

Question: Hi, I had a question. if there is something going on in my back, lower and neck, is it a possibility for the pain that I have in my legs and arms? I have weakness and tingling going down both of my legs, and down the back of my arms? it's really uncomfortable and I'm trying to figure out why. I've been going to a chiropractor more then I have normally been, he's been adjusting my lower and every time he "adjusts" me he cracks my neck to the left and right, I get some relief, then the next day I'm in so much pain. especially if i don't ice... should I stop going to the chiropractor too see if he's the problem? I'm getting x-rays of my spine because I have a mild case of scoliosis too. hopefully that will help too.. I just really want my legs and arms to stop hurting... thank you very much

Brief Answer:
Consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the arms and legs can be related to scoliosis or mild nerve compression at the level of spine or a back muscle spasm. It is best to consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan of the back done to find out the exact cause of your symptoms. A chiropractor cannot help you.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

I asked to get an MRI but they just decided on x-rays. I'm not sure why... my doctor was also thinking that since I just got my wisdom teeth taken out cause one of them was really infected that maybe some of that pain could be radiating from my mouth? I didn't know mouth or teeth problems could radiate through your whole body? I'm on antibiotics and will be for another couple of days, the antibiotics don't seem to making anything in my body better, just my mouth. would you recommend getting a massage or something? to try to get my blood flowing?

Brief Answer:
Not related to mouth infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The antibiotics that you are taking for mouth are not likely to affect the whole body. You can get your vitamin D3 levels tested and soak yourself in a tub of warm water for relief. A massage can also help.
Hope my answer is helpful.
