I have random tingles about the size of nickles or quarters on my left wrist at times, random tingles of the same size all over in different spots on my left leg randomly. First symptom ever on the right side... tonight did the same thing, same size. My back - mid left side feels like pressure on the inside. My left leg from the knee down to my ankle feels odd. It's not numb, but feels numb on the inside, but I can feel everything on the outside. My face at times does the same thing as my left leg from the knee down. Feels numb on the inside, but I can feel the outside. I'm extremely cold sometimes. I get goosebumps all over, or just a random limb... even on my head. It all started in August of 2015 with a tingling feeling instead of the pressure feeling on my back. These symptoms come and go quickly, except for my left leg from the knee down, and my back. They come and go daily. My left side is mostly affected. My right side I had my first symptom tonight. My left shoulder hurts about once every 3 months for a few days and goes away. I've had 2 bouts of vertigo in the last year that both lasted about 2 weeks then disappeared. My MRI from October is at the bottom of my post. Can anyone tell me if I should push for more answers, or chalk it up as Anxiety? I'm not in pain, I'm not disabled. I just know I have something going on with my body, and I don't feel it's anxiety or stress related. I can still play softball, I'm still coordinated. I'm just constantly worrying about the possibility of it being MS and it going untreated.
There is a focal area of susceptibility
adjacent to the splenium of the corpus callosum on the left with faint
brush like enhancement and very mild underlying T2 hyperintensity. The
area measures approximately 10 x 5 mm. There is brush like area of
enhancement in the superior paramedian left frontal lobe seen on axial
image 164/248 with associated mild susceptibility. There is a small
focus of T2/flutter hyperintensity adjacent to the frontal horn of the
right lateral ventricle on image 83/152 without associated postcontrast
enhancement.
CONCLUSION:
1. There is a faint ill-defined area of brush like enhancement
adjacent to the splenium of the corpus callosum on the left most likely
representing a capillary telangiectasia. Additional brush like area of
enhancement with a prominent draining vessel in the paramedian left
frontal lobe consistent with a developmental venous anomaly.
2. There is a small area of periventricular T2/FLAIR hyperintensity
adjacent to the right lateral ventricle, nonspecific and possibly
related to prior trauma, prior infectious or inflammatory
demyelination. Findings are not definite for demyelinating disease or
vasculitis.
3. Otherwise the appearance of the brain is normal. There is no mass
effect, evidence of intracranial hemorrhage or evidence of a recent
ischemic infarct.
