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. Newest 1.the spot on her back 2. Headaches - lasting for days --older but still occur 1. Pain that shoots up or down her bk either into her shoulders and neck or down into her legs 2. 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
