Tingling and Chronic Pain

[madgames316]

Hi I am a 20 (21 in a month) year old male, and my symptoms started 4 years ago.  At the peak of my physical fitness and being in great shape, i started to develop elbow pains.  First diagnosed as tennis elbow, it slowly developed also in my other elbow, with no therapy or anything helping to relieve pain in either elbow.  A little while later, i started to notice tingling sensations in my hands, which eventually became constant.  At times I wasn't sure if I was just paranoid, but now it looks like on occasion i feel tingling sensations in my legs/feet, but only the hands are constant.  In addition, I have chronic inflammation that occurs either after working out, or just on random occasions.  I have been to neurologists (EMG's negative, blood tests show no results) as well as orthopedic doctors, both prescribing different medications (Lyrica, Verrapamil, Aleve)to no avail.  I have another appointment with my neurologist in 2 weeks, but in the past 4 years I have had not one sign of figuring out what is causing my problems.  Is there anything the doctors may not be thinking of, anything else that I can do to figure out what is going on?

I have been checked for Lyme disease when I went to a chiropractor a while back, results were negative.  One thing i forgot to mention was that I had taken growth hormones for about 2 years or so in middle school, which worked and helped my height with no problems at the time.  I wonder if that could have anything to do with it.  In addition, before starting growth hormones, I had a brain MRI in 1998 with results as follows:  "Suspected lesion in left pituitary gland." later they came to the conclusion : suspected lesion on left side of pituitary gland less obvious on today's examination, there remains a tiny punctate area of decreased intensity after contract on the left side of the pituitary gland possible representing a small microadenoma."  I had forgotten about this, but my mom showed me today, thought maybe it would help.

Lyme disease?

I am quite surprised that they have not had me do any type of mri for my spine, I will mention it to the doctor.  The only diseases I can think of that have been in my family are that my grandma had rheumatoid arthritis, and my uncles have raynaud's phenomenon, but i think I have been checked already for both, other than that I don't know of  any diseases in my family.

Hello Dear,
You need to go in for  MRI to rule out any pathology of spine causing the tingling.Is there any history of hereditary disease in your family?Was there any spinal jerk or injury in the past?You should consult a neurologist and also go in foer physiotherapy for pain management.
Vitamin B supplementation may help the nerves from delyleinatiing.
