You need to undergo an MRI scan of the spine, which will highlight the definite cause. nevertheless, you also need a complete neurological checkup, because it is possible that other body sites may be having loss of sensation, if not pins and needles sensation. After, a neurologist has completely noted the sensation loss or abnormal sensation, will any treatment be planned.
