Suggest Treatment For Parasthesias In Legs
My husband is experiencing strange symptoms. His MRI, CT scan and LP are normal. He has weakness bilaterally but left side is more weak. His arms are weak but not as bad as his legs. He is experiencing parasthesias in his legs that he describes as feeling like he is walking on sand. He is experiencing let pain mainly in his thighs. All lab work is normal. He seems to be choking a lot lately. Any thoughts...... EMG is in 2 days..............

Hello dear,
I can understand your concerns about your husband.Asymmetric weakness in legs(more on left) with paresthesias and pain needs to be examined for reflexes,sensations and other clinically significant neurogical signs.It is just not possible without dedicated neurological examination to establish the diagnosis.So,Please visit a neurologist.It may be radiculopathy, proximal neuropathy, or myeloradiculopathy. Without physical examination,it's not worth to make a definite comment.I hope it helps.
