Dual shocks going into legs, my feet and then a throbing

Dual shocks going into legs, my feet and then a throbing

I'm read all your ost about you zips, zaps, shocks and such... here's what is happening to me.
I'm a 50 year old white male and have had Doctors tell me that what I have is due to spinal stenosis.

I can have it happen when I sit or stand, active or not.

My feet constantly tingle like they are asleep, they burn, feel like I have cotton under the toes and have trouble walking barefoot.

My feet and calves cramp like a charlie horse and  along with my legs doing this... I get a shock that starts at my waist and travels down both my legs (like in the core) and throbs twice when it hits the bottom of my toes.

Kind of like when you swing the hammer at the carnival and ring the bell  (strong man), but only in the other direction.

It's really getting me lately... I used to just have the shocks... but now the feet are painful and burn, tingle and constantly hurt... my doc is sending me to a doctor who specializes in hormones now, because my body is not producing testosterone and I'm now having muscle issues.

In the last six months now I have all these veins popping in my legs like small vericose veins... scarry

I'm only 50 and I don't understand what the hell is happening to me.

Anybody else have this going on?.

Because your symptoms are symmetrical, they're more likely to be caused by the stenosis you mentioned, rather than lesion activity.  However, what's going on is that the stenosis is creating pressure on your spinal cord. That pressure causes the nerves to send all sorts of bizarre signals up and down - to your legs, and up to your brain.

The venous insufficiency is another problem, and the hormones yet another!  Sorry, I know how that goes - I hit 40 and all of a sudden everything started having problems.  Like the warranty just ran out.

Well, I have MS.  When my new neuro ran a test with my toes, I found out on both feet my toes felt like cotton ...So both my feet are involved.  One was worse than the other.  I had no idea....I mean who closes their eyes and has someone touch their toes?  I truly could not tell which toe she touched on either foot.  Also, one of my first signs of MS was burning feet not burning foot. I used to wrap them in wet sheets with a fan blowing on them both winter and summer.

My guess is that there is definitely something neurological going on and you need to see a neurologist.
