Why do I have numbness in hand and legs?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Considering your symptoms, I would recommend performing a brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) study to investigate possible multiple sclerosis. If the brain MRI results are normal, then you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your complaints. I would also recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound and a resting ECG (electrocardiography). You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. It is possible that your symptoms are related to anxiety. Do you have back pain or neck pain? Considering the fact that you had numbness first in the left arm and then in the right leg, it would be rational to perform a brain and cervical spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (only one exam). This would help calm your anxiety and exclude multiple sclerosis (MS) as the main possible suspension. If these test results are normal, I recommend consulting with a psychiatrist or psychotherapist to help you with anxiety. You should discuss with your doctor about this test.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need. Feel free to ask me again at any time. I would be happy to review your future test reports whenever you will upload them for a second opinion.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Kindly make a photo of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) report. If you can open them, please make a picture of the screen and upload it as jpg.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. I have reviewed carefully all the uploaded images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I would like to explain that this is a cervical spine MRI study, which can also help see the lower part of the brain. We can not see other parts of the brain. Anyway, all these images do not show anything abnormal. There are some mild disc bulging, which have no clinical significance. The spinal canal is not narrow, it has normal dimensions and the spinal cord has a normal signal. So, in my opinion, your magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is quite normal.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. I saw the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) report (attachment removed to protect patient identity) and totally agree with the interpretation. Basically, it is what I explained to you. A normal MRI with some disc bulging, may cause neck pain locally. You have nothing to worry about. I would recommend trying to correct your posture and performing a lot of physical activity to help reinforce your back muscles.
