Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does Pain In The Spine And Below The Hip Indicate?
Hi! So lately I’ve been having pain in my top 4-6 vertebrate on my spine and my very last 2 or 3 have been tender to touch and painful. Along with this right below my hip on my left leg has been feeling numb. And I’ve been forgetting things that have happened recently. Someone will ask me a question and 3-5 minutes later I’ll forget what they asked... I’m 16. What’s going on?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would suggest you get an MRI spine to rule out compression which will cause numbness and pain as well. And kindly consult a neurologist as early as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
