Weird symptoms on feet & face - is it neuropathy?

[satoshihooi]

I'm a healthy 29 year old with no past illnesses or family history of diseases. Since January 2019, I started to have burning and/or electrical current sensations on my feet. Then about a month later, I started having odd and funny sensations on my face. Both issues come and go intermittently and randomly throughout the day with no pin-point trigger actions. I'll try my best to describe the feelings on my face:

- A hair-strand brushing on the skin giving tickling sensation

- Felt as if my face has passed through a spider web

- Felt as though mini bugs are crawling on the skin

- Tingling but only on the top of the nose

- No pain or numbness

I have no other issues besides these weird sensations that is giving me anxiety because it affects my overall quality of life. I have no history of anxiety disorder and I'm not going through a stressful period in my life. I've done blood tests, nerve tests, ECG, CT scan, Echogram, Ultrasound and everything came back normal. Diabetes, MS, Fibromyalgia, Hypothyroidism, and neuro disorders are all ruled out. No blood circulation or heart issues. No deficiencies of vitamin B12, vitamin D, magnesium, potassium or iron. My GP can't confirm it's peripheral neuropathy or restless leg syndrome since it happens on the top (face) and bottom (feet). For further investigation, MRI of the brain, cervical spine and lumbar spine is requested.

Brain MRI: Normal with no issues.

Lumbar MRI: Mild intervertebral disc prolapsed of L4/L5 but no obvious loss of high signal of the disc on T2WI.

Cervical MRI: Mild disc prolapsed of C3/C4, C4/C5, C5/C6 and C6/C7 resulting in minimal anterior theca sac indentation. Loss of cervical lordosis (flat neck) due to muscle spasms.

With all the tests done, my GP and neurologist still haven't got a clue but stated that the closest possibility causing the symptoms could be coming from the cervical spine. They just couldn't give me a proper diagnosis because other than these issues, I'm generally well. I was only given Neurobion and Lyrica for a month but it did not help.

I then tried alternative treatments. Went for acupuncture sessions, chiropractic adjustments and physiotherapy but couldn't find much relieve. My chiropractor suspected sciatica but I don't think it is. After multiple adjustments, my symptoms still remained.

I really don't know what's wrong with my body and what to do next to treat my symptoms. Can anyone here particularly those that have similar symptoms or have extensive knowledge about spinal and nerve health share some opinion on my issue?

Thanks so much in advance.

You said your doctor mentioned restless leg. When I get that, I take 400mg of Magnesium Citrate and it goes away within 15 minutes...like magic! My mother always used the liquid magnesium Citrate to rub on her legs when she got restless leg. Even though my test showed I had enough magnesium, that extra bit helped to relax my muscles enough to get rid of the restless leg. Magnesium is also good for helping you go to sleep. The one side effect is that it might make you visit the bathroom but that is also another reason why some people like it.
