Have Tingling Sensation All Over Body. Prescribed Neurotin. MRI And CAT Scans Normal. Could It Be Nerve Impingement Or Anxiety?
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your symptoms are suggestive of peripheral neuropathy, a condition where the nerves in body, mostly feet and hands do not function normally.
The common underlying causes include diabetes, thyroid problems, take either neurontin (gabapentin) or lyrica (pregabalin) for relief of symptoms.
Evaluation would include nerve conduction studies (NCV), serum vitamin B12 level, thyroid profile, and glycosylated hemoglobin.
I hope it helped. Please get back if you have any further queries.
Best wishes,
