  I am wondering if u may have a syrinx or Chiari Malformation as the symptoms are so similar....but many Drs disregard this condition....

Deff get copies of the testing and get other opinions.

  Do u have copies of the MRI and the report? It may suggest what may be going on and it is good to take to another Dr for a 2nd opinion.

Was the head  MRI really a brain MRI?
