C spine-scared with symptoms

[k2626]

For months I have had stabbing/pulsating pains that is like a toothache in my body which mainly have hit-ankle/s, toe/s, finger/s, spine, hand/s-it will hit one area anywhere from a minute to hours then go away and hit another area later on. I also noticed at the onset a vibration type feeling that would hit one foot at a time on and off. Also, I have had on and off again right eye pain. Now for 2 months I have had widespread muscle twitches. For the past two days my right pointer finger has been numb

I have had every blood test you can think of-all good. I had an MRI of brain and full spine. All good except from slight DDD mid back and most important- stenosis/compression (mild to moderate) in my cervical spine- c4/5. I do not see a NS till mid Nov for consult

My PC thinks this could very well be the issue for all my problems. My neuro does not.

I worry its MS as I hear an MRI does not really rule out MS if its clear.

Could the stenosis cause all of this? I am very scared right now...

I was fine and one day I woke up to all of this jumping around my body like I had a bad virus or something.

Hi guys, I dont think this is my cspine causing this> I am thinking maybe MS or lyme, though my MRI did not show lesions in my spine or brain, I guess it could still be possible for one to have it. However, I was also told these pains would not jump all over my body at onset, nor would the onset of twitching be all over my body---thats when I think Lyme. Also I have extreme joint cracking....

I am going to see a 4th neuro this week!

Thanks Selma, what are your symptoms?

I also have DDD, cervical spinal stinosis, and chiari...and every NS I have seen has a different opinion....find anothe neurologist or NS.....I am still fighting for the right dr.....

I believe the MS would have been present in the MRI of the brain and further testing would have been done already.....all depends on the radiologist that reaad the films.


Good luck
Godspeed
