Radicular pain: The pattern suggests a pinched nerve and the fact that both arm and leg are weak are worrisome for multiple level lesions.

Accepted Answer

Neuropathy: Numbness can be the result of a mechanical assault on nerves (ie pinched nerves in the neck or spine), or from systemic abnormalities such as B12 deficiency or thyroid dysfunction. Medications can contribute to the problem as well. It can even result from abnormalities of the brain itself. A number of tests exist to establish a cause and can be ordered by your primary care physician.

Accepted Answer

: Scenario suggests definitely a musculoskeletal source, even spine being involved, a second possibility would be shingles with a delayed rash to look for. If symptoms persist see your doc for peace of mind and proper diagnosis and treatment.

No: It's not a sign of a heart attack.

Question 10

i have really bad lower left side back pain which shoot down my leg with pins&needed and i also have sharp chest pain and numbness in my left arm?

Accepted Answer

Need to address ASAP: Need to address what might harm you the most quickly.  Your chest pain radiating down your left arm describes a heart attack. Take aspirin if not allergic and seek help NOW.  Your back and leg symptoms sound more like a herniated disc /sciatic nerve injury. Only after you are evaluated for your heart, a workup for back problems as mentioned should be initiated. Answer is not on internet, call 911.
