Having pain and tightening sensation behind ribs and back. Could it be slipped disc?
Answered by
Lower limb pins and needle sensation is most probably from disc changes. It is not related to a miscarriage. However upper abdominal pain may be due the miscarriage.
It is necessary to consult your gynecologist to rule out it is complete abortion. Also you must get your sonography done . It will rule out the abdominal causes.
After a few days if the symptoms persist then MRI spine will be investigations of choice. Otherwise no need of expensive investigation on emergency basis.
Hope I have answered your query. Any follow up are welcome.
Regards.
