Is it time to see a neurologist?
I have been having chronic collar pain on my right side as well as low back discomfort, mainly on the right side for months on end now. I hold been going to a Chiropractor and do not seem to be improving anymore I am in actuality getting worse it seems. My neck has become so tight I can scarcely stand it. I have been having shaky hand, I've felt kind of dizzy or just nature of cloudy in my head. My body has be reacting terribly to cold, I tense up to the point I grain like I won't move. I have had abundantly of anxiety, at first I thought it was due to the pain and now I only just don't know. It seems to be getting worse as well. My chiro does not think it's neurological b/c my hand no longer go numb. I just don't know. Do you think it's time to see a neurologist?
Answers:
I reflect on that first you should see a regular old primary care provider, who may order some scan, possibly an MRI of your spine. It could be neurological in origin, but I think that they'll probably want to rule out spine problems first - problems within your spine can make your muscles so tense that your nerves get pinched, which could narrative for those numb fingers. Chiropractors aren't equipped to detect fused disks or other such problems. Go see a regular doctor. If nothing turns up on the scans, then you'll predictable be referred to a neurologist.
