DJD with impingement

Question

Asked for Female, 43 Years

I was diagnosed several months ago with DJD in my cervical and thoracic spine. At the time of diagnosis I was experiencing numbness and tingling in my right leg only. Since the diagnosis the pain in my back has intensified. My right hand now tingles and goes numb, I have fallen several times due to weakness in my right leg. I have an appointment scheduled with my Dr for 2 weeks from now but I am a medicaid recipient and obtaining care can be very frustrating. Is my condition getting worse?
