Low grade fever??

by Karen__0__0, Nov 24, 1998 12:00AM

  I am a 41 year olds and since the beginning of July, I have been running low grade fevers,between 99.5 and 100.9 almost on a daily basis. Before the fevers started I had one episode where my arms starting at the shoulders, and down to the wrist went completely numb, lasting just a few minutes. This happened again in August and in Sept.just one time each month. In the past week it has happened twelve times, eight times yesterday. After a hot bath my fever will rise up to about 101 and drop a degree within a couple of hours.I have been to an Infectious Disease Dr., a Rhumetoligist and Internal med is my regular Dr. My regular Dr. has set up an appointment for me to see a neurology Dr. I have a normal brain mri  but my spine mri showed moderate advanced spondylosis and reversal of the lordotic curvature. My question is could the spondylosis be causing the fevers and the numbness, also I forgot to mention extreme fatigue after minimal activity. Thank you in advance for any answer you can give me.
=========================================================================
Spondylosis could not possibly be causing your fevers this is a systemic
symptom which is highly unlikely to be due to any central nervous system
cause.
The numbnes could be due to spinal disease but only if the cervical spine
was involved with significant pinching of the nerve roots to the arms.
Fevers and fatigue tend to go together so this is not a surprising
combimation, the answer however is likely to lie outside the neurological field.
