Nerve Problem
I have been experiencing constant tingling and burning sensation in both feet, along with muscle stiffness in both legs, for the past 1 year. The tingling is persistent throughout the day. I also have mild pain in both hips and thighs.
I have done the following tests and all reports are normal:
Haemoglobin
Fasting blood glucose
Creatinine
Lipid profile
T3, T4, TSH
Liver function test (LFT)
Vitamin B12
Calcium
NCV test
*I am attaching my lumbar MRI report and flim for your reference.
*I am a non-alcoholic. I quit smoking 4 months ago.
**I would like to know:
If all blood tests and NCV are normal, what could be causing persistent tingling and burning sensation and muscle stiffness for one year?
*Do I need an EMG test or are these tests enough?
*
What kind of treatment do you suggest? Is this condition reversible?
*Is there any cure?? Please Help me Suffering from one year.
Thank you 🙏
