Question: I have cervical myofacial pain syndrome per my neurologist causing some neurological issues (radiculopathy and tingling in arms and legs). I’m not sure why my legs. Order for physical therapy and then steroid shot to my tight Trap muscles.
Now i have an additional symptom where my hands and feet turned red and a burning sensation. What can this be?
Brain MRI normal. All blood work and autoimmune blood work normal. Pinched nerve at c5/c6 with mild disc protrusion at c5/C6 per Cervical spine mri.
1. Could this be MS?
2. What is the redness on feet and hands? Neurological?
3. Differential diagnosis ?
Also my finger tips and toes have less sensation than normal. They are NOT numb but feel different.
