Welcome to NeuroTalk:

I see you have been thru a diagnostic wringer of sorts.

And I get the impression that the tests themselves, the scoping etc may have made you worse or created a secondary problem!

I wonder if you smoke, or smoke MJ?

Can you tell us what drugs you use besides the Nexium or other acid blocking ones? All the acid blocking drugs block absorption of B12, folate, calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium from normal absorption in the GI tract.

Many people become low in B12 as a result. When calcium gets low, there can be many abberant nerve reactions in the body. Paresthesias, etc. Low Vit D which is very common today, leads to poor calcium absorption, too, which when added to things like Nexium etc, means you can have serious issues there.

You can get serum tests for B12 and D, but be aware that doctors do not use current lab ranges...and may give "normal" answers and you then need to get the actual numbers and come back here to find out further if you are indeed in trouble with them.

We had a poster here Mark... who had alot strange pain in his chest and found he was really low in Vit D. Fixing that fixed his issues and he posted about it here.

Be aware that certain RX drugs cause PN...
statins and some common antibiotics like Cipro, Avelox,Levaquin, Flagyl, and many others. Doctors WILL NOT address this issue. You have to do it. Damage from Cipro, Levaquin etc may not be evident for months after you stop these drugs. Therefore, they are confusing triggers and often ignored.

Here is the drug thread:

It seems to me you started off with just an annoying symptom and now you are in much more discomfort. I suspect this may be iatrogenic (doctor caused) for you. I certainly hope not.

There is alot of information here we have all gathered, and you need to start taking advantage of it, to see if anything pops out at you so you can begin to get some relief.
