Brief Answer:
Need to get an MRI spine conducted again

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Please consult your doctor once again to get an MRI of your spine conducted, and confirm or rule out whether the cause is still present.

Some amount of compression on the nerves, or possibly even a herniated disk could be the cause for your numbness and pain. Did your doctor discuss the diagnosis with you, could you share that with me?

I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you further.

Best wishes.
