Hello i was just wondering if anyone could give me a little advice on my symtoms would appreciate it so much thank you
For years ( could be as long as 10 ) i ve been suffering from what i thought was a trapped nerve in my neck but as the years have gone by been getting more and more symptoms was wondering if anyone else has experenced these symptoms with a neck teapped nerve
Numbness/pins and needles down left side (face arm hand leg foot ) ( now starting on right side )
Top of left foot is numb
Stabbing pains (face top of head foot arm hands )
Dizzieness feeling faint
Spasms
Loss of sight in right eye (only for 15 mins )
Skin crawling
Neck pain (sometimes lower back )
Weak arms at times and leg
Headaches ( migrains )
Over welming feeling in leg cannot discribe it
These symtoms mostly come daily on and off but for the last few days felt really bad like they have come all at once
Went to hospital a month ago had tests ct mri of brain and bloods and they are all clear of a stroke so thats a relief and theres a 7 month waiting list to see an neurologist !! So im doing a bit of rearch as to what it could be
Dont really know where to turn think my GP as done all she can upto now xx sorry to ramble on thank you x
🙂 I had accumulated an odd set of symptoms and was also referred to a Neurologist, There can be a fairly long wait for an appointment so it pays to be prepared for the actual event. Keep a diary of symptoms..if anything triggers them, how long they last and how they make you feel.
At the appointment..if there’s anything you don’t understand, ask for it to be repeated or put in a different way. Don’t hesitate to butt in, you may forget to ask at the end of the appointment. Make notes, or take someone with you so you remember what was said.
If this turns out to be Neurological, remember that some symptoms can overlap with other conditions and you may not be able to have an immediate diagnosis.
It’s very worrying when you have unusual symptoms, but a huge relief when the possibility of a stroke is ruled out. You could ring the appointment number and say you’ll take a last minute appointment at short notice 🤔
Thank you so much for your reply appreciate it loads x i will take on board what you said xx Could i ask if you dont mind what your symptoms were and diagnose thank you again ??? Xxx
I didn’t have symptoms similar to yours, I was initially misdiagnosed with Epilepsy, but I was eventually diagnosed with Idiopathic Cerebellar Ataxia. I started off having Deja Vu episodes, and a seizure in my sleep. Then poor balance, eye problems and eventually falls.
Ahh bless you ! Hope you feeling a little better now x thank you again i will write it all down before my visit even tho i feel like a hypochondriac xx
