What Is The Treatment For Back Pain,tingling And Numbness?
I am having numbness and tingling in all of my fingers on both hands. I had an x-ray ( CERVICAL SPINE WITH SWIMMERS) done and the radiologist said there is apparent fusion at C5-6 and degenerative disc disease that is moderately severe at C6-7. No fracture, subluxation or acute process evident. I also have low back pain when walking or standing. I had a anterior disectomy at C5-6 about 10 years ago. How can I relieve this pain, tingling, numbness and what is my prognosis?
Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly thanks for using healthcaremagic site , I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
for my patients i may start with Anti-inflammatories , Muscle relaxant , Narcotics , Tricyclic antidepressants , Anti-seizure medications , steroid injections , physiotherapy with hot massaging with topical gels are effective for such cases , if all medical treatments fail i suggest a neurologist intervention like minor endoscopic for your C6-C7 or even spinal fixation in more complicated cases .
