Hi,
I have seen many cases with similar complaints. As per your history, please find my advice below:
1) Do full blood count with differential
2) Do MRI scanning to rule out spinal pathology
3) Do a neurological physical exam to ruled out any injury.
I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.
Thanks,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
