Hello!
I read your question and understand your concern.
In my opinion the way pain on your back, problems with feet and headache may be related to a cervical disc problem. But trouble with memory is not caused by cervical disc. I would recommend a cervical spine CT scan and a head CT scan for the memory problems.
A full blood work for inflammation would be helpful in rheumatic pain.
Hope to have been helpful!
Thank you for using HCM!
