Hi my name is gina and was wondering if anyone had any input on my condition
For as long as i can remember ive had what i think is a trapped nerve at top of spine and some lower back pain but gradually as the years have gone on ive been getting alot of other worring symptoms
Pins and needles on my left side (face arm hand leg foot )
Numb top of left foot which never goes away
Stabbing pains on face mostly left side
Stabbjng pains around body can be anywhere foot hand arm leg
Light headedness
Dizziness
Crawling on skin
Lost my sight in left eye for 15 mins (a year ago )
Painful joints
Leg gives way randomly sometimes
Top of spine is numb but can be painful
Bottom of spine can have a dull ache !!
Headaches (possible migraine )
Been to A&E and was tested for a stroke had ct scan bloods MRI of brain all came back clear
Just was wondering if anyone else is experiencing these symptoms with a trapped or damaged nerve ???
Been refurred to a neurologist but theres a 7 month waiting list and was just doing a bit a research myself !!
Thank you x

Welcome to the forum @Ginajones, sorry to read your in pain, I would see gp to talk about pain relief until your appointment is due, you could maybe ask him to try get a sooner date or ring hospital saying if any cancellations come up, that you would be available.0

Hi sandy thank you for your reply
Rang gp a few weeks ago and she said she would contact them and try and hurry it along a bit but still heard nothing as of yet !! I think due to covid theres a massive backlog even with a letter from doc think its still going to be a long wait !! Xx0 -
@Ginajones yeah I think maybe catching up with back log. Hopefully you get seen soon0

Fingers crossed !! ?0

Rang gp and she said she would send them one that was over 2 weeks ago now so just waiting but wont hurt to ring again x0

my dad recently struggled with really bad lower back pain after years of playing rugby, one thing that helped him get through it and he still uses it today was a stretching routine, <external link removed by moderator - advertising/medical advice not allowed on the community> like this one here.0
