you make no mention of a spinal MRI? If this hasn't been done, your docs are negligent. It sounds to me like your pattern of pain, paresthesia has been non-symmetrical, affecting different areas of the body at different times, coming and going, in the presence of "severe pain and spasms in the back." That at least suggests a spinal origin for much of the problem, though this might be called into question in the absence of any cervical or thoracic spinal degeneration to explain your shoulder, arm, hand neuropathies.

For me, had MRI of lumbar/sacrum (have to look at reports to recall). Some stenosis, moderate damage throughout (DJD), different things (medical speak) over my head. I had a fall over 20 years ago that messed up my cspine have not had a recent mri of it. I know it’s a mess too. It could be causing some of the trouble in the shoulders, traps, arms and hands. The rheumy dx’d psoriatic arthritis due to findings in sacrum. So have problems there. So there are issues with the back. The pt did gentle massage but I had trigger points (i think that is what they are termed). Along with pain, assorted nerve sensations, numbing, the balance issues have been building. Something needs to change. Thank you for your post.
