Could Numbness In Face When Taking Deep Breathe And Moving The Head With Pain In Lower Back Be Pinched Nerve?
hey, since last thursday when i walk, take a deep breath or move my head i fee a numbness in my face. It seems like last week i moved the wrong way and my lower back hurt like i pinched something. Is this something i need to go to the doctor about? I was hoping it would have gone away but it seems like it has gotten worse.

Hi. Yes you need to see a doctor about this. To assess if it is impingement or inflammation along the nerve roots. It is safer to have it assessed. Hope this answers your question.
