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 ?
Hi, you may now be developing compression on the nerves of your hand whicChatDoctore from cervical spine. Take care and consult a spine specialist, you will need an MRI investigation to find out the extent and level of involvement of your cervical discs. Also do not delay,
