What Causes Severe Fatigue And Numbness In The Body?
I have been exhibiting intermittent weakness, numbness and other stroke like symptoms. I had a MRI yesterday and have no cerebral issues-however my MRI revealed significant cervical degeneration and bulging discs at each junction C2/3, C3/4, C4/5 etc. Are bulging discs normal part of aging? I am an otherwise healthy 54 yo female. Or could a significant fall to my right side that resulted in a broken elbow and ankle be a contributing factor?
