Hello everyone,
I am 37 years' old. Five months ago, I started having some paresthesia on my left side (tingling, numbness and burning sensation in left side of my face and arm with some weakness). I ran couple of tests (blood work, CT scan,...) but all normal. Doctors said it might be stress or side effect of Covid vaccine I had at this time. The paresthesia decreased since that time. So I thought it was just stress/anxiety related symptom.
Two-three weeks ago, my both hands fingers started triggering/ jerking mostly during night and I woke up with hands and wrist pain. Called Doctor, he said: since all your recent blood work and ct scan are normal, Paresthesia might be stress related and finger triggering might be due to over usage of your hands (Indeed I work mostly with computer and I was snow shoveling a lot this winter + home renvovation). After seeing to Doctor, I started having muscle twitching/ jerking all over my body at rest and before falling asleep which make my sleeping very difficult and my nights very short. Twitching would happens continuously until luckily I fall asleep and starts again when I wake during night (I am light sleeper).
Not sure if I should call my Family Doctor and request a MRI and EMG. Any one has experienced symptoms like that please? any thoughts? should I worry?
Your help and guidance are much appreciated!
