What Causes Lower Backache And Numbness In The Hands?

Hi, My name is Brandy. I m a 29 year old female. I have been suffering from extreme pain in my lower back for 8 months now. It first started out feeling like it was just my lower spine. Now it is my whole right side, into my hips and thighs. Some times the pain is on both sides, some times it s just on one, but mostly on my right. There are times were I cant lift my hips or legs, get off the cough, out of bed or even walk do to the extreme pain. Ive seen many doctors, tried muscle relaxers, steroid, steroid injections, narcotics, test block on 6 nerves in my lower disc. Ive had xrays, MRI s, and Ive been in physical therapy for the past 2 years. The pain is getting worse and I no longer know what to even search for to find answers. My hands and toes fall asleep often without reason as well. However, I had a nerve study done that gave no answers. Please, can you give me any type of direction as to what I could possible research to find an answer?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Low back ache and numbness is suggestive of a disc problem and a mild nerve root compression. Methylcobalamin supplements can help.

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