Thanks for your replies.
The neurologist thought that I had some sort of auto immune problem causing the problems in my legs and feet after the lumbar MRI showed problems but not enough to cause the symptoms.
I wasn't expecting to have a second MRI on brain and complete spine.
I still can't tell where my big toe is when I'm walking and the Middle toes keep going very sore with pins and needles, my other leg I get extreme pain from the muscles in my thigh jerking and twitching and it feels like my knee is being pulled out of joint and a nerve is pinging in time with the twitching and spasms.
I keep getting buzzing in my feet and I can't stand anything on my right foot in bed so it's constantly stuck out of the bed!
My stomach is giving me trouble, I eat breakfast and it's gone thru by lunchtime. Lunch has gone by about half two and tea time ,if I eat, has gone by bedtime unless I seem to be having a better day and then I'm up by half four in the morning. No wonder I'm losing weight! If you get crippling pains or you feel like your food is just sat in your stomach then it kind of puts you off eating!
I'm feeling pretty rough to be honest, but I am still working so I am very grateful.
Is EMG same thing as a nerve conduction study?
I am kind of dreading lumbar puncture as I have had surgery twice at lower lumbar levels. I have quite a bit of keloid scaring and it difficult for pain clinic to get accupuncture needles in that area due to the scaring and muscle tension.
I need to understand why instead of going in blindly for these tests but it never occurred to me to ask at the time!
I will ask GP for a copy of results if they have a copy of them all.
Thanks folks!
