If it were me I would re-visit ER as soon as possible. Ive just had major back surgery for thoracic disc prolapses and many of these symptoms are familiar...please dont leave them..better to get reassurance than be left with permanent problems..think carefully about the start of these problems..were they preceded by a fall/ heavy lfting/past history of injury etc..whatever happens get checked out asap in my opinion.good luck

Hi, I am 26yrs old. I have never really had headaches but Tuesday of this week I had a really bad headache. My left side went numb it was hard for me to talk. The ER docs gave me some meds and I felt better. Here is the problem... Since Tuesday my right leg has been shaking, I feel like there are needles at the bottom of both my feet and my left leg keeps going numb on me. My back has started hurting pretty bad too but not until a few hours ago. Does any one have any ideas??

U r welcome.....I always say if u r not comfortable with a dr...find one u trust....otherwise u will not get better.....because u won't listen to a dr u don't like or trust!

......I hope u continue to post on the forum, it's a great place to vent and for support!!

...did u trip?....what caused ur fall??....did u see a dr?....have xrays or MRI'S to see if u injured ur self in the fall?
if not, I would suggest u do...it could be a piched nerve....or something else, until u have it checked all that can be done is speculate.

I see u r in NY...what part, Manhatten?.....there r good NS and NL in NY .Start with ur PC and ask for a referral....or ask him/her to do the testing, then depending on results can refer to where u need to go.

keep us posted.

I am not a dr...just like u looking for info and support!

Godspeed
