I just wanted to send an update to everyone here, I went to see a neurosurgeon and he ordered a spinal MRI which showed that I have degenerative disc disease (DDD) in my neck and early onset arthritis in the whole of my back. Very unusual for a 26 year old!He was however concerned as I have some stiffness in my right hand and some twitching in my right arm/shoulder area. He is hopeful that cortisone shots will relieve the numbness/burning issues as well as fix this. I saw a little while back that SadieMae also said her husband had DDD and was curious if he had twitching and muscle spasms as well?
Thank you again everyone who took the time to post and encourage me to ask for the spinal MRI and helped alleviate my fears.
