Tingling Numbness in both upper and lower limbs

[alophysio]

hi,

a number of things.

1. What is causing the disc degeneration in the lower C/S? Is it work, posture, accident, thoracic dysfunction, pelvic dysfunction?

2. Have you cleared all the joints involved? it sounds like you have focused on the C/S.

3. breathing difficulties, rotational restrictions, pain in upper AND lower limbs at the same time - sounds very thorax-y to me.

4. try feeling his ribs. If some "stick out" more than others, hold them "in" (medially) and see if it changes. The change in symptoms sounds like muscular dysfunction/spasm in reaction to other things

5. Does this patient have any visceral issues - stomach upset, constipation, irritable bowel, etc? If so, then i would almost bet my house on Thorax dysfunction.

Good luck!

Hi all.
This is just a thought as I have a patient with tingling and numbness in Hands and legs and also sudden "fits" of breathing problems.
Apart from having Movement disfunktions and postural and habitual and psychological problems this lady has Diabetes Mellitus, which at least some of her neurological problems can be acredited to.
not saying that this has something to do with your patient, just something to think of.
let us know, how you get on!
regards
Annette
