I am waiting to go over MRI results with my doc. At my initial visit he told me I have MS because of all of my problems, gait, balance, and neuro exam he did. Then he ordered an MRI. They found one lesion and said that the shape of it (linear configuration) was worrisome for a demyleniating disease (of which MS is the most common).
3 days after the MRI, my husband took us on a picnic and when we got home my right leg, from the knee up, started burning. Like when you have been out in the cold, and run your hands under warm water type of burning, then it went dead. No feeling at all, completely numb.
It has now been 2 weeks and it is not better. It's not constantly, just off and on, every day. Sometimes the burning wakes me at night and I spend the rest of the night trying to wake up my leg. It has been so bad, I've ripped my pants off trying to cool it off. In between the burning and numbness, it aches, or I will get a piercing, deep sharp pain in the same spot on my thigh. Or I will get this weird pulsing tingling feeling, like a small electric current.
I see the doc April 3, do I write all this down and wait to tell him when I see him, or do I call. I am not currently on any meds except for Tramadol for fibromyalgia pain, which I only take when I can't tollerate the pain anymore. I am not sure what to do, but this leg thing is driving me nuts!
