What Causes Severe Headache And Numbness In The Legs?
My wife of 40yo was out shopping with me this afternoon and lifted an item off the shelf into the cart. Not more then 2 min later she was complaining of severe back pain and then a few min later numbness and then completely loss the ability to use both her legs, move feet, or wiggle toes. We ve been at ER since 4pm ET and now 9 hours later and a CT scan that showed no sign of damaged or compression injury. We await an MRI. What could this be, Willey wife regain full function of her legs again?
