Although I haven't seen a doctor for my neck and back, I've been told by my PCP that I have arthritis in my spine. It gets very inflamed, especially neck and lower back. Whenever I get the inflamation, I get a very weak feeling throughout my whole body with some tremors. I also develop a strong sensitivity to light when this happens, along with ocular migraine. I guess my question is, is the weakness and light sensitivity related to the spinal problems. Lately, I've had pretty severe neck pain (it crunches when I move it), and it happens almost daily. I can't afford to go to a back doc right now since I'm currently uninsured, so any answers would be greatly appreciated.
