Is Blood Pressure Problems Causing Painful Numbness In My Limbs?

I am 25 yrs old female. I have controlled high blood pressure and thyroid problems. Yesterday while staying at a hotel, I jabbed my lower back on the (sharp) faucet getting out of the tub. Instantly, I had pain radiate down my arms and legs. By no surprise, I have a very nasty bruise directly at the base of my spine. I have a history of occipital nerve damage (age of 15)which included numbness down my extremities from time-to-time. That being said, I woke up this morning with a very stiff neck and upon standing from sitting, the bottom of my feet go numb; this just started happening in my hands as well. This numbness is extremely painful but only lasts about 15mins. I have tried ice with no success. Should I see a doctor or wait a few days?

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that such problems is not because of high blood pressure but it is because of injury to back. There is no need to worry regarding it. You can wait for some time. I advice you to take vitamin B complex tablets. Also start doing early morning exercise. It will cause you recover fast.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
