Hello, I was having some spine/nerve pinched-related pain in my upper back and left hand. Now suddenly my right leg feet turned numb. Has anyone experienced such an issue and recovered? What treatment worked for you? Should I see Neurologist, Neurosurgeons, or Ortho spine surgeon?? What should I do? Please suggest what is the best choice. I am 49 years old female, Thanks!

@gabriele Hello, A pinched nerve is a compressed nerve. Surrounding tissues that press on nerve roots can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in different areas of your body. People experience pinched nerves in their hands, elbow, and wrist. People suffering from pinched nerves often experience pain that can involve your back and radiate down your arms or legs, as well as weakness or numbness. You should see a neurologist or neurosurgeon. Thanks!
