Q: back pain with numbness
asked by: ms_lynnf on April 21st, 2008

I have been experiencing back pain on my right side that has now gone to numbness on my right side in the front below my breast. Does anyone have any clue what could have caused this pain. The pain in the back is where my bra stap would be on the right side. It will sometimes spasm down my spine which makes it impossible to sit, stand, or lay down. I end up pacing and bending over trying to alleivate the pain. I have taken robax platinum which has helped with the pain but it is very hard to sleep. The numbness seems unusual to be connected. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello Ms lynn,

Do see a neurologist/spinal surgeon. Seek out the best one in your area. AND, PLEASE do not delay. That "numbness" is not a good sign and needs prompt attention by a spinal specialist, one with MD after his/her name.

I wish you the best. Do let us know how things go for you.
