Pins, Needles In Head, Neck, Arm. On Pain Killers For Disc Erosion. Surgery After Cerebral Aneurisms Ruptured. Reason?
I am getting pins and needles in the left side of my head, in my neck and down my left arm. I have been on prescription pain killers for 18yrs because of disc erosion. I also had surgery after 2 cerebral aneurisms ruptured and 2 more were coiled (one only partially). The pins and needles are so uncomfortable. I'm not as active as I used to be and wondered if this could be contributory ? I am a 66yr old female. Thanking you in anticipation. Josie

Hello
You can take epidural injection in spine for long term relief and to rid off medication.
Continue neurotropic medication consulting your treating doctor.
