Similar Symptoms: Joint Pain & Facial Tingling

[SonicSonic20]

Hi Sabrina. As you said, alot of us have exactly what you described. I started this whole thing with joint pain, then spasms, then muscle pain, cramping, buzzing, and tingling. Most of my tingling is in my face and lips. All of our symptoms have presented themselves differently. You sound alot like us. Have you had an MRI? I've worried about MS too in the past and even recectly, however, I've had two MRI's in the past 3 years and they have been fine. Hang in there.

Amy & 12Drifter12-

Thanks so much for the reply. No I haven't had an MRI, but the doc just ordered a series of back X-rays which they tell me is the next step because insurance won't pay for an MRI prior to X-Rays. I go back Friday to review X-rays, I guess. If I have an MRI and it is okay, does that rule out MS? Amy, why have you had 2?

Also, 12Drifter12, you have the constant tingling in your feet? Has it ever gone away or gotten worse? Do your limbs fall asleep easily? Have you had an MRI? One other question. I saw in a post that you take valium. DO you still fell anxious about this disorder or is it just to quiet the symptoms? Also, how long has this been a disorder? Do they really know if it gets worse?

Thanks,

The first MRI revealed I have Chiari Malformation, not gonna kill me. The second was to see if there were any changes in it, due to some neck pain I was experiencing.
