What Causes Episodes Of Numbness And Tingling In Right Side?
I have a c1-2 bone spur. I am experiencing right sided numbness. No pain, just tingling and numbness. From my lip to my foot. The numbness and tingling is intermittent with problems with coordination in both right arm and leg. Nothing in particular exacerbates. Just comes and goes. Lasts from a few minutes to a few hours. No discernable pattern. Should I just continue to deal with this even though it is beginning to affect my job performance? Or should I get a second opinion? Diagnosis was made by X-ray and followed with CT of head and c-spine. First episode at age 42, and 6-10 episodes yearly. Episodes becoming more frequent and more aggravating depending on activity at time of episode.
My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah & I have gone through your query.
All the above mentioned complaints are due to prolapsed disc compressing nerve roots in cervical spine along with bone spur...
Kindly get MRI cervical spine with brain cuts and consult near by neurosurgeon...Meanwhile take some analgesics,muscle relaxants and pregablin 75mg one tab at night.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
