Can Migraine Cause Neck Pain And Tingling Hand And Foot?
I have neck pain and some right hand and foot tinglying for 4 weeks now, I have had a MRI of the cervical spine which showed mild neuroforaminal stenosis due to osethophytes at the c4 c5 , and mild to moderate at c7. Saw a neurosurgeon how stated I have a migraine without the head ache does that sound right?? Didn't know you could just get neck pain and hand and foot stuff with out the headache part

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and MRI spine findings.
Migraine does not cause neck pain and tingling of hands & feet without headaches. So, as a neurologist, I do not think your symptoms can be attributed to migraine.
On the other hand, disc bulges with compression of nerves in the neck can cause neck pain and tingling of hands.
Please take second opinion from a neurologist for more clarification on your diagnosis.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
