What Causes Back Pain, Constant Migraine, Dizziness, Muscle Twitching And Numbness?
Hi, today i noticed a spot on my wifes back localized only over her spine in the lower portion of her back Right about where her hips start. It looks as if it is vericose veins but i can t seem to find anything related to her symptoms. Thisspt just appeared with in the last few days. My wife is 5 5 170lbs she a little over weight but its how shes built. Shes complained of back pain from as far as i know atleast five years. Recently (2 years or so ) her symptoms i think maybe from a spine injury that she doesnt know that she has. These are the symptoms shes had and still has during episodes of back pain.

Muscles twitching accompanied by numbness 3. Dizziness 4. Left arm numbness associated with left shoulder pain level 9-10 - 5. Knotting or tightness in upper back neck and shoulder area 6.her feet are usually swollen after work- she stands usually for 12 or more shes only 25 and relietivly healthy other than for the pain she goes through with her back. I just want to make sure im educated on all the posibility so i can help her the best i can during our second faze which is going to the doctor and trying to find a solution
The back pain with radiation to legs indicate possible nerve compression at lower spinal cord level lumbar or sacral region. The spot over spine seems to be of soft tissue origin such as sebaceous cyst or else. The dizziness, migraine, muscle twitching and numbness may be of concern with various possibilities such as: - Deficiency of iron - Lack of vitamins, minerals such as zinc, copper, magnesium - Fibromyalgia - Others
She requires a systemic examination with expert physician, who may guide you for further requirement of assessment with lab tests, X-ray or else.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
