My new neurologist wants to do an MRI scan. As well as excruciating pain in my feet I have transient pins and needles in my legs and a vibrating feeling in bladder and tummy. He did a really detailed and lengthy physical examine and said me legs were weak. He mentioned that he though I may have had something called Transverse Myelitis but I have googled this but I don’t have all the symptoms. The other neurologist I saw ordered evocated potential tests which I think are also test of the central rather than the peripheral nervous system so they both seem to think that the CNS is involved.

I have learnt here that other with PN have sensations in their legs and that PN can cause bladder problems as an autonomic neuropathy.

I am now confused but at least I will be getting an MRI which should help one way or the other in the diagnosis I have been waiting for since all this started at the beginning of the year.

Any thoughts, is he just being thorough?
