hi i posted on here just onbe time before ihave had twithing for about 4 months now on and off mainly in my legs now i have constant ear ringing to the pain is in my arms hands and legs but goes and comes i talked with the nurse on the phone  and she told me that on the docs notes it said pure motor neurophaty normal mri of the brain and cervical spine all test for blood were normal emg normal and the ncv showed slow conduction of the motor nerves.my last visit to the doc he said he was concerned because of decreased refex in my arms guess my question here is does this sound like neurophaty to you are mabey something worse,all other reflex was normal.by the way my first visit reflex was normal magnesium was 1.7 with normal levels 1.8 to 2.4 after takeing slow mag then i had decreased reflex. any advice would be great thanks.....shawn

First of all, keep in mind that I am unable to diagnose you because I am unable to examine you, this forum is for educational purposes.
    The symptoms and story that you describe do sound like neuropathy, but are non-specific.  Slow conduction velocities in the motor nerves can be an early sign of Guillan Barre syndrome (GBS) or other neropathies such as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).  You should see a neurologist that specalizes in neuromuscluar neruology to make sure all the right tests were orderd (many physicians forget copper, Vitamin E, Vitamin B-6, etc.).  You should also have your magnesium level rechecked.  It is good to replace your magnesium if low (generally if below 2), but high levels of magnesium can cause diarrhea, somnolence, and decreased reflexes.  
I hope this has been helpful.

I am now having what may be a Cyatic Nerve problem on top of the 7 vertebrae that have had Kypholplasty surgery for bone degradation caused by my Multiple Myeloma. My father thinks it may be a cyatic nerve issue because he had this problem.

This pain is from my rear left hip down to the left thy and left knee with a sharp excrutiaiting pain and numbess.

What kind of Doctor should I ask my oncologist to refer me to.  I see a local Oncologist in NEw Jersey and have an appointment next Tuesday (howecer the pain is just too much to wait) and I have a complete skeletal survey on April 10th at St. Vincent's.

Extra Morphine does not help this pain so I am not taking any more that the usual amount.  I tried to take a Morphine 15 MG Immediate Release attwice a 2 hour intervals but no real help.  

I am posting here because 2 1/2 years ago I got an email back from a posting from Dr. Mohammed Hussein and when I took the in fo to my Military Doctors they reffered me out to University of Arkansas.  The doctor that did my Kyphoplasty was trined at the Cleveland Clinic.

Muscle twitching and ringing in the ears (tinnitus) is common in patients' who have fibromyalgia. You may want to consider seeing a physician who diagnoses and treats fibro.

Good luck !

I have a question, If I am expereincing numbness in my face which moves from my chin and neck to my left eye and so forth.  Then at night my lower back will feel swollen and I feel like I can't move my legs, but I can, its just a tingling feeling in the front of my thighs.  I went to the emergency room and I had a cat scan, they said I was fine, they did all the blood work everything looked good, and I had slightly elevated white blood cells.  I am recovering from a double ear infection.  They suggested for me to see a neurologist but the one my doctor recommended can't see me til May 30th.  Do you think I should get this checked out sooner or could this be anxiety related.  Thanks
