I'm new with a question
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2008 6:48 am
Hi everyone, I've been reading these forums for awhile and you all seem quite helpful so I'm hoping you can answer my question for me.
sometimes I my arms (sometimes one at a time but sometimes both at the same time) start to tingle and then I get pain in my upper arm muscle that feels like a really bad cramp. my arm also feels heavy and weak and like I can't move it, but I can. Also the movements are very exagerated. for instance, it happend once in my friends car and as I reached to put on my seatbelt I ended up punching myself in the fact. the pain lasts a few minutes but the tinglyness from including my neck down to my fingertips lasts an hour or more. My L'Hermettes (sp?) is also affected by it, it usually sends the electric shock type of feeling to my toes but when this is happening it goes to my fingers instead.
anyone experience this?
Also, sorry to make my post so long but I figured since I'm typing I may as well share my whole story.
I'm have NOT been diagnosed yet. back in October I woke up tingly in my hands and from my knees down. the next morning it was my hands and everything from my chest down (everything except my arms and head). my MRI showed a lesion at C2/C3 and my LP showd elevated IGg and >5 O bands. They ordered and MRI with enhancement but the two people that tried to inject me could not find a vein so after about 10 tries they gave up. I go back to my neuro in April.
should I call my neuro regarding my arm thing? It did not effect my arms before and althoug my original symptoms have lessened they have not disapeared. and since the arm thing goes away eventually, maybe it's unrelated?
thanks, any information will be appreciated although I know there are not a lot of answers with MS or possible MS I should say.
