You have what is known as a complicated migraine which can often cause weakness or numbness and sometimes micro I farcts ( strokes). These are best seen on MRI scans and CT scans do not normally pick them up. Another possibility is the preventive treatment with Topamax can also cause numbness or tingling ( a combination of both is also a possibility). The concerning issues are if you have such ( complicated migraines, triptans = sumatriptan are relatively contraindicated ) while the CGRP's are a new class of both symptomatic treatment ( Emgality ) also can be used as preventive ( Nurtec ). If the Topamax is the primary culprit of your numbness then changing to a different category ( to be determined by you and your Neurologist should be discussed ). If your blood pressure is on the high side usually blood pressure medication such as Beta blockers ( propranolol) may offer significant benefits. Contact your Neurologist and ask him about getting an MRI scan and sitting down and discussing above issues.

It is difficult to relate your hands to your back problem. You may be experiencing a broad array of problems that need to be further evaluated and treated. So I would suggest having those issues looked at and treated accordingly.
Can migraines cause permanent neurological damage?

Migraines uncontrolled over a long period of time can cause neurological damage. If you suffer from migraines that are debilitating or incapacitating, on average of once or more times per week, then you should consider prophylactic ( preventative ) therapy. Migraines throughout childhood into young and nature to middle-aged adults often lead to multiple microinfarcts to the brain. This in turn can lead to significant cognitive impairment later on. On ni so rare occasions in younger people, it can cause clinically significant Transient Ischemic Attacks ( TIA's ) or Strokes with residual sequelae. So to simplify the answer to your question: The answer is a resounding YES.

I am not sure if you meant car accident or attacked. It could be a whiplash injury or nerve damage due to trauma. Regardless this is not normal and needs to be further evaluated. I would call your primary or a neurologist to get you in and do further testing (nerve studies and or more site-specific MRI or CT scan studies). You might need further treatment depending on what is found. For the time being, I suggest refraining from major strenuous physical activity pertaining to your upper extremities.

There's no specific starting age. There are several genetic epilepsies. In some instances very early on in infancy, in others early to mid-adulthood.

Keep in mind that manifestations can vary from one individual to the other even they may carry the same gene. Hope that was helpful and offered some guidance.
