Default Symptom question from new member

Hi, I'm new on here & have a list of symptoms that I would like to share to see if any of this makes sense. I get these on & off but mostly on:

* Tingling skin
* Itching everywhere
* Bug crawling feeling
* Burning skin
* Piercing like a bee sting anywhere on body
* Wet feeling on skin (rare)
* Feeling like I have a large bruise, on torso, but nothings there
* Balance & walking not as steady as it used to be

Does this make sense ? I'm 50 & this has been going on for about 5 years. Could this be caused by an old spinal injury that went unnoticed till now ?

Thanks in advance for your help, Patrick

Thumbs up Hi Patrick~

When you mentioned the skin things, that could be neuropathy. But it could mean nerves being pinched in the spine. If I were you, I would mention these things to your general doctor first and see what he says. There are MRI's and xrays that could tell a Dr. if you need to see a specialist. Its all guess work without proof. Have you ever mentioned this to a Dr? Do you have bad pain in your spine? I wish I could help you, but I'm not a Dr. I have had a lot of spinal surgeries and they just don't operate until a work up has been done.
Good Luck!
