A chiropractor told my daughter she may have a spinal tumor near her brain, so he wouldn t touch her. Now we are all devastated with worry. She has had some symptoms of painful numbness in her shoulders and arms. No neck pain but a slight tightness at times when she puts her head down. She thought she just had a pinched nerve. Are there other causes of numbness that worsens at night other than a tumor?
Hi, yes any intestinal pathology apart from tumor will cause worsening numbness at nighttime. The causes are -spring in spinal forecast in spinal Guadalcanal stenosis this you are required to do MRI of cervical region and to consult neurosurgeon. Thanks
