deb74 said:at the end of last year i started to have pins and needles in my fingers and they kept going numb. i went to the drs and had a blood test. i was told their was nothing wrong. i put up with it until april when it got worse and my hands started shaking which is very annoying. in the meantime i had changed drs. i was given another blood test and had an xray, the dr thought it was arthritis as i couldn't straighten my fingers and i already have arthritis in my spine and legs. the results came back and i didn't have arthritis in my hands. again i left i finally decided to go back to the dr last week as i am now having lots of pain in my shoulders and arms.finally i have got the answer! i was born with scoliosis as well spina bifida. it turns out my spine is slowly starting to get worse and it is putting pressure on my neck which is causing all the pins and needles and numbness. i have got to go to the hospital for more tests and xrays to see how bad it has got. i am not sure if they will be able to do anything because they have xrayed my spine before and won't operate as they have told me i will walk into the hospital and come out in a wheelchair.

Dear all,
I had tingling in my legs/feet/hands/head and also numbness in my arms/hands/fingers. I joined this forum to try and give you some reassurance that all my symptoms have gone away after about a year (the sooner you manage to deal with stress and anxiety, the better!!). Change your lifestyle, find ways to try and enjoy the mundane things you hate, but keep your mind busy, like housework and also try to avoid people that make you feel overwhelmed. Without wanting to offend anyone, the truth is I owe all my patience and strength to Jesus, and could never of gotten through it all by own willpower alone.
I wish you all the very best, and believe you will beat this.
