What Causes Pain In Leg Along With Tingling And Numbness After An Accident?
I was in a car accident on October 20, 2011. I had damage to my C4 and lower back and was in physical therapy for 6 mths. Now I have days that on the left side ( where I was hurt ) that I have severe pain down my arm all the way down in my leg and foot. I get tingling sensations and numbness. The tingling is on the left side of my head sometimes also. I wake up at night with my left side numb sometimes where I apparently rolled over and was laying on it. They told me that the therapy I went through was all I could have done. The pain, tingling and numbness just seems to be more frequent . Is there anything I can do to stop it ?
