Explaining Motor & Sensory Symptoms

[lanalen]

Could someone clearly explain the difference between motor and sensory symptoms? It gets mentioned here quite often, and Im still not completely sure which symptoms are which... Im having almost constant buzzing, vibrating, feeling of pressure, even pain in my leg, so I guess that would be sensory?thanks

Hi, maialen,motor symptoms are involutary movements and twitches of various intensitiy and nature - single, grouped, wave-like, buzzing, jerking, cramps etc. Every time your muscle moves, it is a motor action or symptom (in case you do not have clear intention to do this movenent, of course).sensory symptoms are those related to different nerves - those which are responsible for our sensing of pressure/touch, pain and temperature. So any pins and needles, numbness, hot or cold spots, diluted or sharp pains, pains along the nerve path, feeling like there is rubber band around your lims or head, running water sensation etc. are sensory symptoms
