Suggest Treatment For Pain And Numbness In The Leg

hi Doctor, my name is charlene, I had an accident 2008 whereby a entire pallet of produce in and out of boxes 7ft x3ft toppled over on my upper back, neck. A large box was coming to my head I used my right open hand to block it and it smashed me against the wall. I have had neck upper back and arms problems since. june 2015 a customer tripped me and I fell full body backwards onto a cement floor. I have numbness in my left leg and feet, also pain. both upper legs sting and tingle when I lie down at night, it irritate my neck and upper back when I have to continueously bind it. my left arm unable to extend it completely outward, I have a small knot in it where it hurts the most. I have headaches extending from the back of my head to the front. I have seen three specialist neither agree on what they see on my mri and the imaging of left arm and legs. My lower back left side something snaps from time to time and it feels like something out of place just as my left shoulder and at one time the right until I got a pain shot in it. I would like to think I am not amageing all of this pain, I am tired of the doctors, I have a nuerology appointment next week what do you have to say.

Hello,

It may be due to nerve compression at lumbar level.

For further assessment you may require MRI back, nerve conduction studies after spine surgeon consultation.

You may require tablet pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation.

Continue physical therapy.

In case of not getting relief you may require surgical intervention after surgeon consultation

Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
