Neuropathy

[glebel]

Hello, I have tingling, numbness and weakness in both feet and hands. I had nerve conduction tests and the Doctor says that there is some neuropathy but not enough to cause the weakness. I was told maybe it is physiological but I went to a physiatrist and he said that after all his test that it was not. I have had this since March 3, 1998. At first they thought I had a stroke but again all the test came out ok. I am going for physio 3 times a week and I am still tingling, numb and weak. I was wondering if any others had what I have. I wish I new of a neurologist that could explain this to me.

Thank you and look forward to your feedback

Are you on any type of statins for cholesterol control? These have been known to cause this in certain people . It stinks I have living with this for the last 3-4 years , it drives me nuts . I believe taking lipitor caused all this , never had any kind of problems like this before taking that stuff .

Thank you for your response. No I was not taking any medication prior to this. I wish you the best in your recovery.

Again Thank you

Gerry - Just wondering.....have your doctors ever checked out your back to see if a nerve is being pinched there? Have u have an MRI?

I did have any MRI but only of the brain, not on my back. I know that all my muscles are very stiff and the tingling and numbness and burning feeling is still there. I am going to physio five time a week .
