Hello,
I have had two normal brain MRIs and two normal EMGs. However, Muscle Twitches/Disequilibrium/Tingling and pins and needles symptoms, unexplained SOB have been intermittent since Dec 2008. The muscle twitches have become more prominent in the last 3 months. I do not have any atrophy or muscle weakness. The neurologist last week had a MRI done of my brain and cervical spine--Brain was normal and cervical spine is below. Does anybody know what might be causing the above symptoms and how if any way the below can be related?
Any other recommended tests I could ask for to further look into what might be causing my symptoms?
Thanks,
Rusty
CHCS 10052772 Cervical Spine MRI. COMPARISON: None available.. PROCEDURE: Multiplanar, multisequence MRI of the cervical spine was performed on a 1.5 Tesla Philips Intera platform using a phased-array surface coil and the following pulse sequences: Conventional Spin-echo T1-weighted sagittal, fast spin-echo T2-weighted sagittal, axial T2 GRE, and T2 weighted axial sequences. FINDINGS: Vertebral body height, alignment, and marrow signal appear normal. The intervertebral disks demonstrate normal height but with decreased intrasubstance T2 signal compatible with degenerative desiccation. Incidentally imaged posterior fossa contents, skull base, cranial vertebral junction, and paraspinous soft tissues appear unremarkable. Segmental analysis is as follows: C2-C3: Unremarkable. C3-C4: Unremarkable. C4-C5: Unremarkable. C5-C6: There is a very small central disk protrusion which indents the thecal sac but does not contact the ventral cord. There is no significant spinal canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing. C6-C7: There is a very small central disk protrusion which indents the thecal sac but does not contact the ventral cord. There is no significant spinal canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing. C7-T1: Unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Minimal degenerative disk disease at C5-C6 and C6-C7 as above.
