Hi doctor,
For a couple of weeks, I had a tingling in my left foot (under the pinky toe). Then one day after, the sensation was positioned in my right foot. It lasted for about two days, and then I had no symptoms. Now after a week, suddenly while reading, I notice the (vague) tingling sensation under my left knee. Does this sound like multiple sclerosis (MS)? I am really anxious. (I have health anxiety as well). I do not take any medications.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com. Your symptoms are not suggestive of MS (multiple sclerosis). So, you should not worry about this disorder. An electrolyte imbalance or a pinched nerve could lead to such complaints. For this reason, I would recommend performing some tests if the problem persists: 1. A nerve conduction study (electroneurography). 2. Thyroid hormone levels for thyroid dysfunction. 3. Blood electrolytes. 4. Vitamin D and vitamin B 12 plasma levels for a possible deficiency.
