Thanks for the advice. When did your problems start? Do you ever twitch all over or have any other problems?
I have tingeling in my hands and feet and it has been diagnosed as peripheral axial sensory motor neuropathy. You might want check that out with your neurologist next time you go.
Hi doctor, I had another question... I had my MRI`s (brain, c-spine) done 4 mos. ago right after I began having MS like symptoms. Will MS usually show up on the MRI early? Say right after a young woman first begins to exhibit MS type symptoms. Where I have had MS type symptoms, I`m scared mine didn`t show up because I was tested to early... I go for another opinion Mon. Thanks.
By the way, all of these symptoms started after the MRIs. So should I have them repeated?
Wrist tingling with no involvement of the fingers or hand doesn't sound like typical symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. However, sometimes more specialized nerve conductions studies need to be performed in order to increase the chances of picking up carpal tunnel syndrome such as palmar studies or lumbricals (your neurologist should know what these are.) But if these were done and it was still normal, then it's unlikely to be carpal tunnel (although a very small percentage, about 3%, of patients with CTS do have a normal NCS. The normal brain MRI is also helpful in ruling out diseases such as MS which can present with vague neurological symptoms in young women. Hard to say what this could represent as I have never examined you personally or reviewed your diagnostic studies. Arthritis, connective tissue disease/autoimmune problems are all possibilities. One other test to consider is an evoked potential study of the median nerve to see if there is a problem in the pathway from the nerve in the wrist along the arm, spinal cord and then to the brain. Otherwise, if everything is normal and it is not significantly affecting your life then you may just want to observe it for a while and see if it changes or just goes away. If it gets worse and involves more of your arm or other limbs, consider going back to your neurologist for another look. Atenolol is probably not the cause of tingling in the wrist. See previous post about neurological changes in the setting of elevated BP. Good luck.
