Hi I haven't posted here in ages as I was feeling a lot stronger about my situation. But I've been getting this burning feeling in my right leg - in the thigh area and sometimes in my hip. Have had it on and off since Nov. I was really worried about MS last summer as had lots of horrible different symptoms all over the place (tingling, numbness) - I saw a neurologist who thought I was fine but sent me for MRI anyway for my peace of mind. The result came back clean - I was overjoyed.
I've still continued to worry though that they're missing something - and now this burning continues to pester me. I didn't have any problems over the christmas holidays and then the minute I go back to work it starts up again. I never wake up with it in the morning, it just seems to develop either on the way to work or when I'm at work. I hadn't been bothered with it last week and last night was thinking that my leg felt just fine and then when I get into work this morning its back.
I also had a cystitis in the summer and again in Nov and this has had me freaking out too, thinking that there is something seriously wrong with my bladder and that I was going to end up wetting myself during the night or something. I went and got this checked out and everything seemed to be ok - mentioned MS to the doctor and he said that bladder problems are something that tend to happen later on in people with MS. I am still pretty scared about everything though. I've also had this feeling of really hot fingers and they do in fact turn bright red occassionally - I've had this before too. I thought it might be raynaud's but I'm not sure and have never asked the doctor about it.
I seem to have days were I'm feeling fine and strong and then other days I feel low and so worried about my symptoms and what they mean - guess its just one of those days today. The question is, should I be going back to the GP? They really just brush me off when I'm there and I feel embarrassed about going again. Just not sure what to do. Would really appreciate some advice.
