Suggest Treatment For Numbness In The Face And Dizziness

Hi I have been seeing a neurologist for about two months, for numbness in feet, face, mouth, restless leg, dizziness, did a vng and have 44% vestibular deficit in left side. I have been going through rehabilitation for the balance issue. The balance issue is worse, the numbness is worse in face since before seeing the neurologist. Blood work came back low ferritin and vit d levels. While looking over some other medical documents I have back in 2010 I went to an orthopedic doctor and they reported my x-rays of C-spine demonstrated anterior osteophytic changes. I clean houses for a living and I wondered if since 5 years could this situation had caused the problems I have now. Could this be affecting the blood flow and nerves in my neck and head. I forgot to mention the Physical therapist noticed while trying to work with me on the vestibular issues that I have a limited range of motion in my neck and the neck tends to want to pull back to the front when I try to turn it sideways, it also has a tremor when it does this. Hope this is enough information.

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hi,

thanks for providing the brief history of you.

since you have symptoms like balance issues, pain, numbness, restless etc we need to focus here on two aspects.

one is the brain and the second is the spinal column.

brain works on its own and the input of medicine is symptomatic to get help for the symptoms. also the MRI of the brain and spine will play a key role to your diagnosis and help for further.

medicinal part will be played by consulting a specialist and then the non invasive was of dealing is the physical therapy.

you can always meet a physcial therapist who will assess and guide the next course of plan by using TENS and exercises.

why exercise again is to help boost the metabolism and come closer to the requirements of the tissue. it will even help for balance disorders, pain, spondylosis etc.

with the grace of God is wish you a speedy recovery
