This started with me the day after I started PT for neck and back pain. I mean it went from 0-10. This was back in March. It was intermittent at first, now it is all the time. I am under the care of a physiatrist who is ordering a cervical MRI to diagnose this. He does not think these symptoms are related to my many chronic back issues (scoliosis, spinal stenosis, buldging and herniated discs, degenerative joint disease, arthritis, etc..). He is doing the MRI to rule out (or in) MS or similar neurological conditions.

The swiftness with how this started baffles me and I'm sure no medical professional can explain it - especially a cause and effect (PT and the symptoms).

I am not diabetic nor do I have vitamin or thyroid deficiencies. All have been checked. I am 61.

Has anyone had this happen to them? Has anyone found any treatment that has worked for them. I take 600 mg of ALA daily for about 2 months - not really helping.

Thanks.
