What is going on with me?

[My4girls]

Hi there, I've been having some numbness, tingling, shooting pains, electric shock pains, like when you touch something and you get a zap, like that but in my muscles, mainly left foot, left upper arm and right hand.  My dr has done alot of blood work that has all come back normal so far and she has sent me for an EMG, which I had done yesterday.  The dr that did it told me that my nerves are fine, but when he tested the muscles in my left leg, he said that there is some crackling.  When he does the test, you shouldn't hear anything but when he did mine, you hear the crackling.  He didn't say anything else, other than more blood work needed to be done.  What could it mean?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

Hello Dear,
Do you have any history of spinal injury?What is your age and what work are you involved in?You should consult a neurologist and get  MRI,nerve conduction studies done as there could be several causes of your pain like,.degenerative spine changes,neuropathy,nerve compression etc..You should do yoga and extension exercises.Also get your blood sugar levels checked.Unless a MRI  is done the diagnosis cannot be made.You should see  a neurophysician to evaluste the cause of your symptoms.

No I do not have any history of spinal injury.  I am 37 years old and I do filing for the government, so I'm usually on my feet alot, but right now I am on maternity leave so I'm not at work and this all started when I was pregnant for my 4th daughter.  I had my blood sugar done a few months ago and everything was good.  She also did a CBC, TSH & EST and all was fine.  She also some other blood test, but I can't remember the names.

I have had very similar issues as you, but it is my right let.  Everything came back fine except the insertion of the needle had crackling and it shouldn't.  I have been trying to find out the answer to this question also, but it takes two weeks to get into a doctor!
