Hello

my left arm has been going numb for about 2 weeks now. I fell off a golf cart in november, my head kind of skid across a dirt road. Do you think it could be my spine?? Please help!! I don't want to have a heart attack!!

It absolutly could be your spine. Neither is a very good thing (heart/spine trouble) but you need to go see your family doc and get an mri and then go to a neurosurgeon if you need cervical work done!

An orthopedic surgeon would be fine for mechanical issues with your cervical spine but for anything in the nerve/spinal canal department, I would go to a neurosurgeon!
