Epidural


Q:
Age: 47   Sex: F   Concern: Spinal cord injury  

I injured myself while lifting a patient. I am waiting on approval for an mri. The doctor suspects a cervical herniated disc. My right neck, shoulder and arm are painful with tingling in right arm and hand and fingers and burning sensation inthe entire area described. this morning I have noticed some tingling in my right foot/toes. Should I renotify my doctor?

A:

Yes since you now have lower extremity symptoms which could mean central cord compression.
