What Causes Pain And Numbness On The Right Side Of The Body?
Having pain and now. Numbness with pain on my right side extending from almost my spine all through the side ,moving to almost mid way on my side.. What does this indicate?. It s been hurting for almost a week now . and two days ago it went numb but still feel the pain... Felt like a back strain. But now is am concerned .. Can u help me please ? ..
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a bulging intervertebral disk in the neck.
For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam, performing a cervical spine X-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation, blood electrolytes, vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels for possible deficiency).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
