Your doctor will likely call you and go over the results tomorrow or they'll bring you in. When I was done with the MRI they said, "Go home, get some food because you've been in testing all day. The neurologist said I had severe swelling in my spinal cord, and ordered an immediate brain and spinal cord MRI. The EMG was the first test and it began with them sticking needles all over my legs and then sending electromagnetic shocks through those needles to see how my nerves reacted.
By day seven, it was almost a state of complete paralysis. By then, the numbness and tingling had become so severe that I almost couldn't walk-I could feel the pressure of the ground beneath me, but I was forcing my leg to move. The next day I went and got those tests done. That's when I started to get a little nervous.
My doctor quickly ordered an electromagnetic test (EMG) and an MRI to rule out meningitis, ALS, multiple sclerosis, and lymphoma. I'm a very active person and I work in health and fitness PR, so I was just thinking, "Oh, maybe I'm not getting enough magnesium or something."Īfter about five days of this feeling traveling inch by inch up my legs, I went to see my primary-care physician thanks to the advice of my sister, who's a surgical nurse. I thought that maybe my diet had played a role. I’d compare the feeling to when your foot falls asleep.Īlthough the sensation was getting more and more intense over the course of two or three days, I wasn't super concerned. I thought that I was just sore from wearing heels, but within a few days, the numbness and tingling proceeded to go up my shins and into my knees and through my thighs. In February of 2015, after a busy weekend, I began feeling some tingling in the bottom of my feet.
