this really scared me i dont know what to do. Was on my my home from my voultentary day in teh Cancer reasearch shop. I got out of my seat on the Fery must have turned the wrong way felt pain in the bottom of my back and my right hand went numb cant t remember if my feet did the same. Seeing anybody is a wate of time as the last neurlogist i saw was convinced it was all in my head. as he wanted to ged rid of me and pass me onto a shrink regardless of the MRI showing the dics in my neck were knackered.

Hi there
Sorry to hear this has the numbness continued at all
I would ring your gp I know you say you get no help but we are not medically trained so can't advise
Other options are 111, go to a&e , maybe a chiropractor
Hope you get sorted -
no but my hand not right.

If things don't improve, I would talk to your GP @FIONADT

Hi @FIONADT
I'd definitely echo the advice to speak to your GP. Could you ask to speak to a different GP this time perhaps? If you explain to them your previous negative experience with the neurologist, they might be able to help you get your points across.
