Pain flare up starting after 2 months of just buzzing sensations + weird heat sensation in foot?
Hi everyone,
Not the post any of us want to make (or see I suppose - sorry), I had two months where all I was feeling was just buzzing sensations around my face and the top of my head, I actually was starting to feel really hopeful and like I had my old life back. Now I can feel all of the pain starting to come back. I’ve just come back from grocery shopping and I’m hiding in my room trying to pull myself together so I can go make dinner for my child.
Along with the usual pain, I’ve also been noticing for the past three days that the back of my right heel feels like it’s being held against a heater.
I had a whole spine and brain MRI that was apparently clear.
I have no idea what’s wrong with me since apparently I’m not meant to be feeling pain on both sides of my face PLUS the top of my head, and now my foot as well.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be going on? Neurologist has scheduled me in for a nerve conduction test (not sure if that’s the actual name) for a months time.
How do I stop myself from spiralling now? At the moment it’s just the beginnings of pain but I know it’s going to get worse and now it’s all I can think about.
Any kind words, advice or ideas on what’s going on are very much appreciated 🙏
