Hi, can anyone give me any ideas on whats wrong here...
3 1/2 months ago I woke with a really sore neck and pins and needles in my shoulder and right arm and weirdly, my toungue. After a few treatments from the chiropractor nothing was improving, infact the pins and needles had spread into my left arm and right leg. I had an MRI of my cervical spine which showed multi level degenerative disc issues and a small spinal cord compression. I saw an Orthapedic consultant who said the results were not enough to account for my symptoms which have progressed to literally every part of my body now.
I have permenent tingling that varies from really sharp stabbing pains to mild crawling type sensations over my whole body and toungue and roof of my mouth, my throat feels weird too. I have occasional headaches, weakness in my limbs, clumsiness and at times very severe back pain. I also have strange feelings in my eyes, kinda like pressure.
I have days when I am TOTALLY exhausted and days when im not too bad although I dont have the ability to do in a day what I did 3 months ago.
My GP has run some bloods and referred me to a Neurologist but he says 2 months roughly before I will get an appointment. I am really worried - the incidious nature of this concearns me. I feel the symptoms are gradually worsening every day and I get the impression my doctor is sick of the sight of me!
Any ideas?
