Hope you get some answers soon. |
Momx7 - This is what your neuro should be doing for you. He should realize that you are really experiencing this, that no numbness is normal, and should test you to find some reason for you to have it.
After ruling out any causes he can come up with he could at least offer his best guess as to why you have it - does he think after all it could be ms or some other neuro disorder the tests did not show?
If HE does not get the idea to do this on his own, can you ask him to do this? If you ask and he gets his knockers in a knot, maybe you need another neuro
My neuro will normally just test me if any new sx pops up, or if old ones go crazy on me. If I went today and said my neck took a turn for the worse he'd have an order for a C spine MRI right out to me. If he didn't I could ask him and he wouldn't flinch. This is why I say good things about him.
And if he doesn't know the answer, he can say so, and we can talk about who might know. And I can go to that doc, and tell the neuro what the third party said. You don't get that every day.
You need to know about this though. And your neuro needs to look into it.
