question: I am 25 yrs old female. I have controlled high blood pressure and thyroid problems. Yesterday while staying at a hotel, I jabbed my lower back on the (sharp) faucet getting out of the tub. Instantly, I had pain radiate down my arms and legs. By no surprise, I have a very nasty bruise directly at the base of my spine. I have a history of occipital nerve damage (age of 15)which included numbness down my extremities from time-to-time. That being said, I woke up this morning with a very stiff neck and upon standing from sitting, the bottom of my feet go numb; this just started happening in my hands as well. This numbness is extremely painful but only lasts about 15mins. I have tried ice with no success. Should I see a doctor or wait a few days?
