Hi, I understand your concern. The tingling sensation in hands & legs you have seems to be secondary to nerve root compression at lumber & probably cervical level. Please get Xray of cervical spine done to confirm the site. Drugs given are only for symptomatic relief. -The true treatment lies in physiotherapy.. so as to balancing spinal malformation by muscular development & postural changes of the patient.So physiotherapy is a must. - In patients with no relief, spinal surgery is done to alleviate the symptoms. Thanks.
