I've had mild spinal stenosis diagnosed at C6 and right neck/arm nerve pain. Occationally right face, arm, and leg also had a very very light tingel feeling. Recently, a doctor referred me to have my spine adjusted for the pain. I had T1 adjusted and within 3 days I had significant and extream sensory issues in the right side of my body...face/lower arm/lower leg (right side of body). No muscle problems or pain. Over the past 6 weeks it has faded and I'd say I still have 30%-50% of the sensations depending on a good vs bad day. The sensation is like sleeping on a hard floor all night...kind of a strong pressure numbness with light tingles under the skin which is always there...can't get away from it...causes/with significant anxiety. Within the last week I now have the sensation on my upper left arm initially when I sit down. I've been to PT with maybe minor improvement...and have an MRI scheduled...working with a neurologist. Any ideas? What would I expect him to do and how would I know if it is something to be concerned about?
