Can A Keto Diet Trigger Neck Stiffness, Headaches And Numbness In The Fingers?
Question: what causes a stiff neck, headache and stingling, numbness in my fingers and on a keto diet
Brief Answer:
Possible compressive spine disease
Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am
I can certainly understand your concern
I have worked through your attached query in detail
As per your clinical description, the possibility of a compressive spine disease is high with regards to your symptoms
Hence it's advisable to consider an MRI scan of spine at the earliest to determine further course of action. Severe disc compression if any should be dealt surgically only.
Meanwhile a short course of analgesics will help to improve your symptoms.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if advise this test to you.
