Hello!

My name is Martin and I've been just diagnosed with MP
Doc didn't inject lidocaine, but preformed EMG to overrule other nerves, he basically knew what it was after I've described it and it makes sense
2 years ago I gained significant weight after being quite fit for long time, im obese but not to extend, I'm 105 kg /230lbs, but when I was fit I weight 85kg, so it's really 20kg /45lbs of fat on me, not little, but not that much
Anyway my wardrobe wasn't uptated so I started to wear my pants below my waist and using a belt, so I'm assuming the belt compressed on the nerve and viola
My symptoms are not very severe, it's numbness and burning/tingling sensation rather than pain, I feel some pain but mild and rarely occurring
Anybody in same shoes? I read some of your stories and it seems you guys deal with it for years and compared to you my symptoms are still a picnic!
Do you think I may suspect it will get worse or in contrary when I know what's the problem and I take of it by losing weight and wearing loose clothes it may just resolve itself?

All the best,
Martin
