Been Getting Headaches, Lower Back Pain, Numbness In Left Foot. Anything To Worry ?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Persistent headaches with a feeling of illness might just be due to a generalized viral infection. Maintaining a good nutrition, Vitamin C supplementation and mild pain killer like acetaminophen may help in spontaneous recovery in next 5-7 days.
Pain in the lower back with numbness in the left foot with dizziness might be suggestive of a disc problem at the lumbosacral level.
Muscle relaxants and methylcobalamin supplements can help with your symptoms if used in appropriate dosage in combination with a potent analgesic. You can get these prescribed from your orthopedician.
Local analgesic gels and hot fomentation may provide a short term relief. You can use analgesic gels like Volini gel.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

so i should not be worried that the two are connected? as the headaches and the glands on back of head are up, and i feel rather a large pressure going down the spine which the past few days is the worse pain ever.
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
You can wait for a week for spontaneous improvement to happen. The two problems are not likely to be related. In case the symptoms are persistent or worsen, then you need to consult a physician for a detailed evaluation. Mild pain killers are recommended meanwhile for symptomatic relief.
Hope my answer is helpful.
