What To Do If Had Severe Back And Legpain, Difficulty In Bending At The Waist, Numbness In Hands After Chiropractic Treatment?
I went for my first chiropractic treatment in last May, 2013 and was rushed into ER the next day. I was in severe back and leg pain for 2 months and lost some physical strength with my legs. It has been more than 6 months now, I still find it hard to bend backward or lean forward and I often wake up with numb hands in the middle of the night. X ray and MRI did not shwo any disc herniation but why would I experience such strange sensations after all? When the incident first occured, I suffered sciatica for several weeks as well.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The symptoms that you are having are likely to be related to a nerve root compression due to disc disease. It can be aggravated by the treatment that you took. Wait for a few days and have absolute bed rest. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
