I am a 58-year-old male that is typically healthy. 178 lb 5 11 I go to the gym 5 days a week. And eat relatively clean . Very little sugar - no pop - lots of water - fresh vegetables fruits - fish and chicken.I have had tingling throughout my whole body for eight weeks. It is constant and never changes. It s always a level 2-3 out of 10. 10 being the highest tingling level. I went to a neurologist today and he suggested having a skin biopsy to see if I m vitamin deficient.I have not fallen or hit my hand to indicate any of concerns. He also mentioned I could have a pinched nerve in neck and that a MRI would uncover.Does this it indicate I am moving in the right direction? Thanks,Dan Dcmullet@ aol.com
Hello Dan! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! I agree with your neurologist on the test prescribed (cervical spine MRI study) by him, in order to exclude first a cervical spine myelopathy. I would also recommend performing a nerve conduction study and some tests: - complete blood count - vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels-thyroid hormone levels. Hope you will find this answer helpful! I remain at your disposal for any further questions. Kind regards,
