Hello,
About 10 months ago, I had BPV which was "fixed" by a neurologist by performing a series of excercises. I was relived to find out it was nothing serious; however, he or I (with the help of the internet) could not find anything mentioning the severe, short-lived "attacks" of head pain (they lasted less than 5 minutes).

I had about 7 of them over a period of 3 weeks...then they disappeared.

Starting in March, I had total body numbness which was a result of severly herniated discs in my neck (I had a brain MRI before the surgery).

I had ACDF C5-C7 surgery in May and still have total body numbness occasionally and right sided numbness pretty consistently.

I just saw a neurologist for the first time after having the brain MRI and he said that there were ischemic abnormalities on the right side of my brain (the same side that I have the worst numbness on). He dismissed them as being attributible to my age (I just turned 41)

Should I be worried? I go for a EMG on Monday.

Any input would be appreciated!

Jennifer
