What Causes Numbness In The Hands?

I had a buldging disk in the C-5 through C-7 area in my spine about 2 years ago from a car accident. I ve noticed my back has been non stop hurting. Pain Meds don t seem to work. I m 5 6 and weigh 235 pounds. I do a lot of weight training. My doctor has said I ve healed and MRIs have came clean in other parts of my spine but it will always hurt. I also have lots of migraines, numbness in my hands and feet a lot, and like a needle pain up my spine. What should I do?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.


For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.

Till time, avoid lifting weights. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give you relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

If nerve compression becomes symptomatically severe then surgical decompression will give permanent relief.

Nerve stimulator implant may help you to relieve pain.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
