possible MS when MRI is clear

[mrspeed24]

I had facial tingling for 6 months, I hd a MRI 3 months ago and it was clear, I was told that it wass stress related do to my current family situation, and that nothing was wrong. after that the tingling went away.

Now over the past 3 days I have been getting the same tingling again, I keep telling my self that nothing is wrong but it wont go away. could this be psychosomatic. or is there something that the Dr missed?

Any ideas?

Hi thanks for the info but I have a question?. what do you mean by "underlying brain pathology"

Hi,
Tingling of face may be due to nasal bone fracture,trigeminal neuralgia,migraine,diabetes,vitamin B complex deficiency or underlying brain pathology.In your case MRI brain is normal,so think on other causes and check your investigation lists wether you have tested for all these.If every test result is normal then it could be psychosomatic.
