i am a 23 year old male who is experiencing numbness in my back. at first it started in the right part of my back under the shoulder blade while i was walking to work. keep in mind i just started walking about an hour and a half each day and  standing and hunching at work, after being inactive for a while.any way the numbness spread to the left now its usually the left sometimes the right...what could this be???? the meds i take are omipreznole for acid reflux.....which i stopped taking 3 days ago after i found out it causes a b 12 deficiency. and medial marijuana for anxiety and back pain  please help someone this keeps me up at night worryng i am really stressed out at this point in my life and worryng about this is the last thing i need

It can take a while to work based on what is wrong. What you describe in the first post sounds like you may have a nerve being pinched somewhere. It may be due to inflammation from inactivity then starting the walking ect or you may not be getting enough vitamins and your muscles and nerves are making up for it with the numbness. If it gets worse or you start to have severe pain please go to the doctor asap. There is a chart on my profile that may help it is a nerve conduction chart it shows what the nerves in  your spine and neck control. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. Best wishes.

hey i have started taking a complex b vitamin supplement ...started maybe 3 days ago...i knda feel like the feeling is subsiding but its not gone.....could this take some time to work?

Take a B-12 vitamin. B-12 is one of the vitamins used to feed the nerves. I am not saying that is what is causing the numbness. The numbness is more that likely a pinched nerve. Going to the doctors and having it checked is the only way to be sure. I hope things get better soon. Best wishes.
