Two ER visits and a referral to a neurologist
Ive been two the ER twice jn the past month. One for extreme neck pain and shooting electrical pain down spine and face tremors.
I was back this week with extreme back pain and could hardly walk without screaming out.
I have not been formally diagnosed but both ER doctors and my GP are pointing towards MS.
Ive had symptoms since September.
Anyways I see the neurologist yesterday.
He tells me he believes its MS but he hopes not because it will ruin my life.
He says I need to do 5 things. 1 take vitamin D (i already do) 2. Exercise (i love excersing but my vertgo and backpain make it difficult) 3. He looks me up and down and says and you need to loose weight 4. You need to get treatment from my chinese medicine doctor 5. Need an MRI
Didn't check me didnt give me anything to help with pain nothing.
I left his office and got in the car and had a total mental breakdown.
I will not be going back to him. But here I am still no help and im mentally not in a good place.
Doesn’t sound the greatest of docs but even not seeing him would still recommend getting an mri done and look for a different doc. MRI can show them if it is and you need to go further, with or without that doc as there’s others that would treat you right.
Definitely MRI
