loss of leg/arm finger tingle, migraines, etc

by barbell, Dec 05, 2007 09:24PM
over the last few years I've gotten severe loss of legs, where I would collapse.  Along with this, migraines appreared and right arm, and tingly fingers.  I am extremely fatigued and cannot do any house hold tasks.  I can only stand for a few minutes at a time.  My migraines mostly start at night when I lay down.  But now they are continuous.  I just had an MRI of my neck but no results yet.  What is wrong with me.  I am going crazy and I have 5 children to care for.  Makes life rough.  I do have osteo along with fibro, but I really dont think its severe enough to cause all of these symptoms I am having.  Anyone have any clues?

Hi.

Just to clarify, you said you had osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia, am I correct?

Your symptoms can, indeed, be related to nerve compression or spinal cord involvement, which would result in the leg weakness and tingling arms and fingers. The MRI might be helpful in diagnosing this.

Is your osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia being treated? Your symptoms can still be related to these chronic conditions, especially fibromyalgia, which usually presents with weakness, generalized fatigue, pain and chronic headaches.

You should consult your neurologist with the results of the MRI to have a proper assessment of your condition.

Good luck.
