Hi,
I’m new to this site but thought I would give it a try to see if anybody out there has a similar case. I have had numbness/tingling and burning sensations in both hands and sometimes forearms for almost 5 years.
within the last year I was diagnosed with MS based on spinal tap and 3 lesions (2 c-spine, 1 brain). Symptoms are 24/7 but more of a nuisance than pain. I’ve been the route of many that included carpal tunnel, EMG,
NCV, bloodwork and assorted MRI’s etc. the specialist recently diagnosed me with a mild late onset relapsing MS and has now changed It to progressive.
My symptoms seem stabilized for now so medications (MS protocol) would be too aggressive. Meds for the symptoms do very little (tried Lyrica, gabapentin)
I was very active and an avid tennis player which I have given up because of the lack of touch and feel with the racket. I can still golf and have not lost the strength in my hands or arms, just feelings. My specialist says I am an odd case.
Are there any oddballs out there like me that can tell me their story And let me know where it all ends. Most everybody I have talked with have leg issues which I do not have. I’m looking for hands/arm only similarities.
thanks for taking the time to read my story and I hope someone out there can relate to “tinglehands”.
