MS diagnosis ?
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 6:31 am
Hello all
I need some help navigating the medical world. As of 3 weeks ago I have had consistent "pins and needles" in my left leg and foot, right foot and palms of my hands, cramping in my right foot, shakey hands. Dr have worked me up for everything under the sun, except MS. They say I'm too young (27) and its most likely anxiety so take some Xanax (which doesn't help). I've never had anxiety prior to this. My symptoms don't wax and wane, the only time I feel relief is when I walk around the tingling isn't as noticeable. (laying or sitting is do uncomfortable)
How can I press for an MRi or a neuro consult? I don't see anyother explanation for these symptoms
Thanks for any advice or thoughts
