Hey guys, I have a few questions that maybe some of you can answer for me. I am 25 and new to having neuro symptoms. Last Sept. I had some one sided numbness & hair loss (not sure whether that was associated to something neuro or not). I also developed crazy anxiety due to the hair loss, which actually came on a few months before the numbness. So initially I thought the numbness was a result of the anxiety. Anyway, was referred to a neurologist who did an MRI to check for MS. It came back clear, with some minor arthritis showing in my neck. So between my internist, dermatologist and neurologist they said "stress & anxiety" and I went on my way. By November I was feeling good again and by February 2012 my hair loss stopped.

Now...after months of feeling great and "normal" I woke one morning with an electric shock type of pain in my inner calf. Hurt SO bad!! It lasted on and off all day. I haven't felt it severely like that since then, but every day I get lighter versions of it that are still painful but I can carry on with my day. Slowly I've been developing other symptoms too...hair loss is back, pin prick sensations all over, some muscle twitches, occasional pinky numbness, neck pain, and sharp pains behind eye (rare, but they happen).

My question is, can symptoms like these pop up without a definite cause? Like, can someone get nerve pain or sensations without a disease or disorder? I've been tested recently for deficiencies (except b12) and everything was fine. I'm living in constant fear and anxiety over this that it could be something like MS, even though my neuro who is one of the best in my state said I didn't have it. He is having me do a Lumbar MRI this week to check for the shock pain. I didn't have the other symptoms I noted until AFTER my appointment with him so he doesn't know about the rest.

Also, can anyone tell me exactly what a muscle spasm feels like? I often wonder if the nerve pain I'm feeling is a muscle spasm, but it doesn't really feel like a muscle...to me a muscle spasm would feel like a tightening charlie horse type of pain.
