Already had back pain, degenerative disk. but about a year ago, I had a spasm up and down my back, and it's only been downhill from there. Months later, it turned to extreme stiffness. in my legs on the daily. with constant prickling and spasms in my back. The stiffness gets so bad I feel like I can barely walk., goes down to my feet.. I had an MRI done on my lumbar And they said I had degenerative jwith arthritis. But he said it didn't explain the extreme stiffness in my legs with prickles. I'm still trying to figure this out because he says he's gonna give me a. shot in the back, but I don't know that that's gonna help the stiffness or not, which is the worst part.. Do I need to see a neurologist? any help you could give me would be great, I've been going through a year of this, and I am so exhausted.
