I have had back pain and stiffness going on three weeks now. The pain/stiffness is in my mid and lower back starting between my shoulder blades going down to my lower back. About 1-1.5 weeks ago my right hand/arm started this tingling/numbness on the inside of my upper arm and the ring/pinky finger on my hand. The numbness seems to only happen if I don t move my arm for a while, at least at first, but now it seems to be more consistent throughout the day. Movement seems to help a little but not much. Then today I noticed my big toe on my right foot started to have the same numbness/tingly sensation and a little pain behind my right knee.
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have back pained, tingling and numbness in hand and foot. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like deficiency of vitamin 12, herniated disc, disc injury, spinal stenosis or abnormal levels of calcium, potassium, or sodium in your body. I would suggest you to consult spin specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan or MRI along with physical examination to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxant or recommend physical therapy. Doctor may also recommend surgery in severe damage. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
