Hi Everyone,
I am new here. I have had numbness, burning, itching, pulsating and stabbing pain in my left hand now for about 8 months. I had an EMG done but everything came out normal. I have been to 2 neuro-surgeons because I also have cervical stenosis and a nerve impingement in my lower back in L4 and L5
I have also been to a hand specialists who said this would just go away, but it hasnt, so tomorrow as a referral from the neuro-surgeon Im going to a neurologist. My left hand numbness is my first finger and middle finger, it burns around my knuckles and itches sometimes terribly. I get stabbing, pulsating pain in the top of my hand, when I rub my hand it feels like your rubbing raw nerves. I also have a problem with my left foot, across the 2 left toes the little ones, it also feels like electrical shocks when rubbing them. Today and for the last 3 days my left shoulder, neck and head are really bothering me, it hurts to turn my head, look down and my left shoulder is burning. Does all this sound like neuropathy ? What questions should I ask my neurologists tomorrow ? I just want to find out why I am experiencing this ? I already take 60mg of cymbalta for fibro and depression, 100mg of seroquel for sleep and vicodin for pain..geez what else ?
Thanks for any input,
Chotzey
