Thank you for your answer! Since my first concussion when I also got a whiplash, I have been having pains in lower back sometimes shooting pain and sometimes with numbing of legs and horrible tingling, could whiplash contribute to problems in the lower back aswell? My neurologist just looked at me as I was stupid when I asked him, but it is odd how they appeared almost at the same time... I got hit by a heavy plank in my head as I was leaning forward, so maybe the lower back did get hurt somehow..Hmmm

It could be an injury in the lower back. Did you fall when you got hit? Or your back brace for impact, etc? If you are in pain, it's worth getting it checked out. Even if your neuro isn't being helpful, explain the pain you are having and ask if you can have some sort of imaging done to rule out an injury to the bones in your lower back. From there, provided there is nothing that shows up broken or tweeked or what not, then physical therapy might be a good idea.

Again, trigger points can cause referred pain. However, if I were you, I would rule out direct injury to the lower back first.

Lower back pain, with leg tingles... Have you been checked for herniated disks? That's a pretty common injury in MVAs. I've got them.

Once neck has been ruled out, seek an upper GI doctor. They can do an easy test called an endoscopy. Sounds worse than it is. They can look down your throat and really examine to see if there is an issue. Also thyroid nodes can make you feel like you have a swollen throat and other symptoms. Just take one step at a time to find out. ginnie
