Hi, my husband (58) has had severe clamminess and sweating in neck area at night. He also has chronic pain and numbness in his left lower back, hip, and thigh. He has huge knot in lower chest area (hernia removed two years ago) Can this be related? What could it possibly be? He has had spinal fusion with two rods and 8 screws in his neck. Thank you for your review.
Dear Madam,first thank you for your consultation. From my clinical experience I am telling you the knot in your husbands' chest has nothing to do with his problems like chronic pain and numbness in lower back, hip and thigh. See as he has been on spinal fusion with rods and screws his spinal nerves are I think in compressed state. Also may be in his lower back region the vertebral bones are pressing nerves causing irritation of nerves resulting in pain. If the spongy part of vertebral disc is dislocated in the lower back region then also he can experience some pain. So to know the exact cause of pain you should take him for an MRI of whole spine to know if there is any structural or functional problem in his spine.my best wishes for your dear husband. Thank you again.
