Possible neuropathy
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible nerve issue.
Neuropathy are known to cause similar symptoms as yours.
IN fact the history of low Vitamin B levels contributes as it is one of the main cause of peripheral neuropathy.
I think it would be better to test this with a NCV or nerve conduction study. MRI is expected to be normal in this situation.
Associated causes will have to be considered if the test suggests neuropathy.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
