Hello and thank you in advance:
36 y/o male former military.
Around 2 months ago started to experience quick and short tingling in genitals with forward flexion of the head. Shortly after this, I began to experience urinary frequency, feeling as though I needed to urinate right after I had finished urinating.
Tingling with forward flexion has stopped completely at this time (Lihermettes maybe?). Urinary frequency continues.
Left upper extremity tricep began twitching approximately 3 days ago. No sign of clinical weakness. Have been running regularly 1-3 miles a day as well as working out despite above symptoms. Anxiety is very high right now as I am terrified. Sleeping has been terrible the last few days, have been experiencing Hypnic jerks also known as nighttime myoclonus (have had this intermittently in the past, but not every night like this).
Went to Urology whom sent me to neurosurgery,
completed c-spine and L-spine MRI’s. L-spine negative, C- spine with some mild to moderate stenosis. Urine and blood testing negative. Neurosurgery noticed bilateral hyper reflexia in my patellar tendons.
Requested consult with neurologist.
Absolutely terrified. Your guidance is very much appreciated.
