I’m new here but just looking to offload a little as feel a bit lost right now
Over the last six months or so I’ve been getting some worrying symptoms all affecting my left side. I have also got fibromyalgia (diagnosed 2018) but these symptoms are different to my fibro ones
My symptoms are (not nec all at same time)
- Visual aura in left eye
- Left sided headache (aura and headache don’t happen at same time or even same day)
- Left arm feels heavy, numb in parts, prickly
- Left side rib cage around side is very painful, feels like it’s being squeezed. This can last 24-48hrs.
- Left side just doesn’t feel the same as right. Hard to explain.
So far I’ve had blood tests which were ok, eye test which showed no health issues and I had a brain MRI Tuesday just gone.
Of all the symptoms I think I most worried about the rib pain as concerned it could be MS hug.
My GP said to call her in 1-2 weeks post MRI if I’ve not heard from her.
What would be the next step? If scan comes back with no lesions would I still be referred on to a neurologist?
Do these symptoms sound like potential MS?
Many many thanks in advance
