Hi
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
I generally see many cases like this at my clinic.The first thing we do at our clinic is to find out the exact cause of the pain and
numbness. We get an xray and if necessary an
mri done to find out the root cause.
In your case,there are 3 possibilities-
POSSIBILITY 1.
Soft tissue swelling- there may be no bony component,only the soft tissues around the region might have been swollen causing the symptoms.
POSSIBILITY 2.
Nerve involvement- there may be a partial or complete compression of one of the nerve that arises from spinal column,that might cause reduced nerve supply to the concerned parts
POSSIBILITY 3.muscle involvement- in some remote cases,the muscles in the region might get stiff causing
fibromyalgia like symptoms
But i assure one thing, even if it is either of the above 3,all have a good prognosis and you should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about.
I suggest you should get an mri done to come to a diagnosis.Do get back to me after ur mri reports are ready.
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
