Saw Neuro yesterday, all tests normal

Had a Nerve conduction study on my left leg and all looks normal. Dr. also did a test for pinched nerve  which came up normal (wow- they should warn you before sticking you with those needles) she stuck a needle in my thigh so hard, without warning, I thought I was going to hit the ceiling. Thankfully, the rest of the needles didn't hurt at all.
Also did a test for carpal tunnel.
Bloodwork also came back normal. She did glucose tol test, B12, sed rate, and one other test - don't remember the name of it.
Next week I go for an MRI of the brain, with and without contrast. I'm wondering since I am having so many lower body symptoms if she should also be doing an MRI of the spine? Maybe that will come next.

I have numbness/pins and needles in my left foot and pain/numbness in left leg from groin all the way down.
Also pins and neeles in left hand and numbness in different areas of left arm.
Have had numbness on left side of face and pins and needles on tongue and roof of mouth.
More recently have a slight buzzy feeling across back of head between ears, ringing in right ear and a strange numb pressure on right side of head just above my ear.

I'm sure the more experience members here could help you if you listed a few short specific symptoms to tell if the spinal MRI would be a good thing... I personally have had only one done, without contrast. Also, what is the stregnth of the MRI that you are going for? I'm glad that you MRI of the brain is with and without contrast- that is important as well! :)
Good luck with all the testing!
