Hi all
I’m wondering if anyone can help me.
I initially had a muscular type shooting pain down my back in November 2018, and having read about MS and a Lhermitte sign, started to google. For the next two days I googled and kept bending my neck down to see if it had gone away. Well two days later I felt a tingle. Again I kept bending my neck, now terrified. This has now turned into tingling in various spots down my left side for the last 5 months.
Went to my GP who said anxiety, and to ignore it.
I was referred for nerve conduction tests, but a consultant physician didn’t do these. He did a neurological exam, which was normal, and said anxiety again.
I am now bending my neck so much, terrified the tingling won’t go away (which it doesn’t!). I think I have not had the reassurance, which is why I can’t let it go!
Sorry for the long post! Any advice much appreciated!
