Hello.
My symptoms started in April '13. I felt pins feeling in my left big toe and when I would go with my fingers below root of left big toe I would feel electrical impulse shot throught my big toe. That sensation lasted for 2 months approx. and then went away. Then, in August I started getting the same electrical impulse feeling in left foot pinky when I massage spot below root of that finger. That feeling was starting to subside in November-December, and now it is back and couple of days ago I notices the same electric impulse feeling in my left achilles heel when I go over a spot on my hamstrings near knee. (I don't have these feelings if I don't press these spots).
Other symptoms are muscle twitching for a year on different places not constantly and burning in other places that is rare and also comes and goes, but I know that these 2 can be due to anxiety.
I am terrified of PPMS so I went again to neurologist. She said that it's from anxiety, that I don't even need to do MRI, just if I want to calm myself down, but what petrified me is that she wrote I have ankle clonus bilateral, and hyperreflexes simmetrical.
I googled it up and saw that clonus just can't be caused by anxiety so I am terrified again.
I was trying to rationalize that these electrical impulses (only when I press over a spot) are nothing to worry about, but ankle clonus is said to be usually sign of upper motor neuron diseases.
Thank you for any help!
