Low back pain started ~4 months ago, mainly at nighttime while sleeping. Progressed to full blown back pain, bad enough to make dr. appt. Prescribed muscle relaxant. Helped with back pain, but then started to developd left leg numbness/heaviness feeling, as well as numbness in left arm and left side of face. Referred to neurologist--MRI and X-rays done of lumbar spine, MRI of cervical spine and brain. Nothing abnormal found. Blood work done (thyroid checked since have nodule, Lyme's disease, etc.)--all normal. Neurologist diagosed symptoms as those of complex migraines. I do get headaches on occasion, but they have not been worse recently. I question the fact that the numbness started concurrent with back pain. Back pain is now gone, but numbness remains. Arm numbness is mostly on outside of arm, down pinky finger. Leg numbness is like tingling feeling, heaviness to leg. No weakness in limbs. Are there any other possible explanations for these symptoms?
