I am experiencing more numbness in my hands and fingers. I feel my fingertips could just pop off my fingers. At the end of my visit the neuro did agree to an MRI of my head sense I finally got him to listen to my complaint of pin pricks around my face and mouth. These feelings have now started all over my body...upper legs, arms, torso.' Has anyone experienced the feelings? I go on the 27 to have the head MRI discussed with me,
300 mg of Lyrica seemed to be woking, I don't have the severe sharp shocking pain now.. I do have hot pinching sensations all over my body. Should the Lyrica dosage be increased?

I have also had an MrI on my feet/ankle to be told that pain is arthiritis and I need to wear a costume fit orthotic. Which I don't think my insurance will pay for.

Thanks to all,
Sheila
