Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Twenty-two years is no age to get neck pain and numbness and tingling in hands preceded by neck pain which is generally due to a disc problem in the elderly.

Does fatigue, muscle weakness, and aching arms indicate ALS?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thanks for providing a detailed history. The timeline of covid infection followed by fatigue and muscle pain is a well-established complication of Covid (coronavirus disease) infection and, in the majority of cases, will settle down in a few days, mostly an average period of 7 to 10 days, and almost all patients become ok after 2 to 3 weeks. The fear of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is troubling you but let me assure you that the symptoms you have, like muscle fasciculations, do not always mean ALS. You have severe fatigue and pain in the muscles, meaning there was inflammation in the muscles due to covid.

What could be the reason for the tingling sensation on the left foot, hands, and arms despite normal MRI?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I sincerely hope that I can help you because the details and history are very meager and inadequate; anyways, I will try to reconstruct the events. You face two symptoms, the first being tingling in both the hands and left foot. It is more in the hands, so I presume it started from the hands and then to the arms. Please answer the following questions, 1) Is it intermittent or progressive? 2) Does it vary from time to time? 3) Does it wake you up from sleep? 4) Do you have any other symptoms? 5) Is it a loss of strength, or does it interfere with your work or daily routine? 6) Does the weakness in the legs interfere with your walking? 7) Is the progression intermittent or comes once in a while? What you describe as tingling can originate in the peripheral nerves and the brain; this is also associated with weakness.

I lost penile sensitivity after a traumatic injury. Is there any chance of recovery?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As I understand, you had a stretch injury 11 weeks ago, leading to the entire loss of touch to the entire penis, though the sensation of temperature and pain are present. This is called a dissociated sensation, whereby the touch sensation is lost, but pain and temperature are unaffected. This problem is seen in spinal cord diseases (including the lowest portion of conus medullaris and cauda equina, which you do not have). Your problems have started with a stretch injury to the penis, and maybe some fibers of the pudendal nerve are damaged.
