I am a 19 year old female who is experiencing alarming symptoms (I will post a list of symptoms at the end). Some days I have to use a cane and others are disrupted by peeing my pants numerous times. My doctor has tested my blood, I've had CT's, MRI's and every test under the sun but he can't figure it out. He has done everything he can think of but is left to tell me he will CT me again in a year to check for MS that they may not be able to detect yet. I am just hoping for some support because for a person who isn't experiencing my symptoms and frustration from not knowing, it is hard to understand what I am going through. I'd love to hear stories from who's out there if you can relate.

SYMPTOMS:

•numbness in legs, feet,arms, hands, and genital area.
•bladder and bowel incontinence
•electric shock sensations in legs, hands ,feet and arms
•fatigue
•poor immune system
•twitches and tremors
•weakness in limbs
•trouble speaking
•slight blur in vision
•unbalanced and uncordinated
•feeling of bugs crawling on my legs
•poor memory, concentration and trouble thinking sometimes
•ringing in the ears ALL the time



Some of the symptoms are constant and others come in "attacks". If you have any input it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Your problem looks more like saddle neuralgia or Pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) in which the pudendal nerve (located in the pelvis) is entrapped or compressed. Pain is worsened by sitting, and there is a sense of a foreign object (constant urge to urinate) in the urethra. In addition to pain, symptoms can include sexual dysfunction, aginal numbness, impotence, bowel and bladder incontinence. The degree of entrapment decides other symptoms like numbness, skin crawling etc.
Diagnosis is by diagnostic block, MRI, CT scan, and Pudendal Nerve Motor Latency Test (PNMLT). Discuss this with your neurologist. Treatment is pudendal nerve block.
Take care!

hi there, i am a 29 yr old female...i have some of the same symptoms...tingling, numbness, weakness, unbalanced days, bug crawling sensation...
in addition, i get feelings of elastic band sensation around leg, arm, etc.

I have a neurologist, sent me for mri's, eeg's, ekg's, etc...everything normal
the only thing he said is where my spine at the top...most people curve at the top of their spine, where mine is straight, and i have a few bulging discs in my back, but he said it was all very minor....that was over a yr ago, still no real answers for me, and its frustrating...many days you sit there wondering if something really serious and deadly is going on, or if its just a nerve problem or anxiety...
i wish you luck, and go get a nerve test done...its sticky and gross, but they can rule out many things!

I am so very sorry to hear these disturbing signs. I don't know either, I noticed no one has replied but was your doctor a specialist? I would go to a nurologist it sounds like those kind of symptoms to me, I'm no doctor but that is exactly what I would do. Please keep me informed I truly want to know what you find out. God Bless you and good luck. They will find out what it is so try to keep good thoughts.
