I am getting to the conclusion that I may have a spinal injury.

Nothing about all this random numbness makes sense of it all suddenly happening in the span of a few days... and specifically, immediately after lifting and manipulating that heavy load at work. My back is still sore, and what I originally assumed was muscle strain may, in fact, be a compressed disc.

That would, at least, make sense with all the numbness.

... and, honestly, that's far less worrying than webMDs suggestions of LymesDisease or developing MS, so... I'll assume compressed disc until proven otherwise and lower my anxiety...
