Hello all,
I'll try to keep this brief. A week and a half ago a shelter house in our yard blew into our neighbor's yard and I had to go take it down and move it. Our neighbor was a very stressful experience as he was swearing at me and very angry. Then later in the day I was lifting 25 pound concrete blocks and at one point carried one on a shoulder. A couple of hours later I started making dinner and my feet/legs started getting tingling/burning/muscle soreness feeling. The next day my upper back, shoulders, arms, and hands were also experiencing the same symptoms and it's continued every day since then. On Sunday I wore heels and my sciatica went crazy for about 24 hours. I've had that for over 20 years but normally it doesn't act up unless I do something to irritate it.
So these symptoms come and go throughout the day, and go away completely at night. If I'm laying down and very relaxed they are almost gone as well. If I am relaxed in general they are better. I'll wake up in the morning and feel normal and then the symptoms will start again. I'm a full-time student so I sit/use my hands a lot. These sensations and aches are worse when I'm sitting, typing, writing, or driving. If I change positions or walk or move in some way then the sensations/aches will get better.
Then today the front of my tongue feels tingly. So that has me worried. I am under a lot of stress. Does this sound like it could be MS or is this a combination of stress/injury from all the lifting I did?
