back pain for a couple of months. The top of my thigh and the top of my foot go numb and tingle. It also happens in my hand and fingers, both on the right side. I went to my PCP, who put me on Neurontin. I took that for about 4 weeks, and it did not help. I have started within the last two weeks developed this feeling in both of my feet, and it feels as if I have been outside in the cold and you start getting frost bite. My feet become very cold to the touch, but then get red and start itching terribly. There is no discoloration associated with this. I told my PCP of this, and he is referring me to a neurologist to for this and he said to have them also rule out MS? In your opinion, does this sound anything like MS, or just maybe a pinched nerve somewhere? I have had no scans or MRI's done. I would greatly appreciate your input, or anyone else that can help. Thank youView Thread
