Pinching - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

I have noticed something very strange. If I have an itch and scratch, I feel a pinch in another spot on my body not related to where I scratch. If I scratch my upper thigh, I get a pinching sensation in the back of my calf. Weird?

Does anyone else have this happen?

Thanks a bunch~ Cindy

I have not had that happen- YET! But I would not say that it is weird. As your nerves are damaged, your signals can get confused. IMHO, I think that your nerve signals have wires crossed or misdirected. You might note the change to your MS Dr. for your next visit.

Thanks for the response.

I have a nerve conduction test tomorrow and see the neuro right after. Do you think this quacky thing will show up on the test? I am unfamiliar with what happens with the test.

I'll be sure to mention this though.

I would mention it before the test. That way they might be able to test your responses?? I am not sure, though, because I never had that particular test.
