Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I sometimes experience numbness in my lower left lip at night. It resolves upon moving my head. Should I be concerned ? I do have degenerative disc disease which has left me 3 inches shorter than what I was younger. I have a healthy bone density. I am a 56 year old female
Hello welcome to health care magic, thanks for your query.as per your history my opinion is that you must visit an orthopaedician and neurophysician. Have MRI of cervical spine, CBC, ESR , CRP get done. you should avoid pillow lifting heavy weight on head and in hand. Put a rolled towel under your neck. You can take analgesics, muscle relaxants, rantac, methylcobalamine. Hope your query got solved. Hope further queries in future.
