That is exactly what I used to do to relieve back and hip pain.
I went to a good neurologist. It turns out that I have nerves that get pinched by muscles in the lower back. My hip pain was/is from a pinched nerve. When it gets out of hand I go to the neurologist, he gives me shots in the lower back that are a muscle relaxer. It get better usually in a day or so. They sent electric pulses through the nerve to analyze how bad the nerve was. It all starts when I pick up something too heavy or push or pull something wrong.
Maybe this is part of the problem. Maybe you have pinched nerves higher up. That would possibly explain the numbness? I have pinched nerves in my neck that cause numbness in other places, occasionally.
Tell Rowan he needs to proof read this post.
