[|Human|] Hello, I have been having alarming symptoms lately however I having a hard time getting care from my PA. Starting about 2 years ago I started getting migraines, they continually progressed to the point of daily. After numerous attempts of daily medication I finally found relief in Botox shots. Well about 6 months ago I started getting horrible joint aches that seem to move around to different joints. I feel like I have edema in my hands too. Then about 2 months ago I started getting dizzy spells. Then about 4 weeks ago I started to noticed a crawling sensation in my legs and on the right side of my head. Then it turned into numbness in my feet and cramps in my legs. My legs feel weak and it is hard to climb the stairs. I am pretty alarmed by the tingling in my legs. Can you please help me with an idea of where to start with my doctor. All he wants to do is give me Neurotin however I was hoping that there may be some test to find out what is causing all these symptoms.
[|AI|]  Hi, The tingling and weakness are motor and sensory symptoms you are experiencing due to nerve compression in the lower back. I would suggest you to fix an appointment with a spine surgeon and get an MRI of your lower back along with whole spine screening. That will pinpoint any compression that is happening and also give a clue to about how the prognosis can be. Meanwhile, you can continue with the Neurontin.
