Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Numbness In The Hands While Lower Back Pain?
I have been awakening during the night with numbness in either or both hands; this may happen several times per night. I have found that sitting with my forearms on my thighs and my head bent down toward the floor helps relieve the numbness quickly; another tactic is to stand with my head bent down. I do have several low back problems and am wondering if some of the sitting positions I get into to relieve the pain are causing problems with my neck?

What Causes Numbness In The Hands While Lower Back Pain?
Hi, Most probably it will be due to neuropathic causes like a prolapsed disc. Consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan done. As of now, analgesics like Tramadol or Diclofenac will be helpful. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
