I keep getting this vibrating tingling sensation on only a patch of my leg near my knee. It is numb during the vibrating tingling part then it starts to burn and really hurts. It comes and goes. Anyone else experience this and do you have any suggestions for how to deal with it? It’s very unnerving. Thanks.
MSF 230 Symptoms of Electrical Shock
I hope this helps.
People can experience two types of pain. "Normal" pain in response to bodily injury, such as a bruise, sprain or burn, is called nociceptive pain. In contrast, neuropathic pain arises when the nerves that transmit pain signals are damaged. Sensations associated with neuropathic pain typically include aching, burning, stabbing or an electrical shock feeling. People with neuropathic pain often experience a combination of pain sensations. Several neurological disorders can give rise to neuropathic pain.
People with multiple sclerosis may have abnormalities of the pain nerves, which can lead to shock-like, shooting, burning or stabbing sensations. Lhermitte's sign -- an electrical shock sensation that radiates down the spine with bending the head toward the chest -- is a classic symptom of multiple sclerosis. People with multiple sclerosis may also experience symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia.
That’s a good idea. Thanks!
Sometimes MS causes the weirdest symptoms! I think I can remember times with a vibrating feeling. I also used to get a weird itching feeling at night when I went to sleep. I would lay down, then one spot on my right arm would start itching! Neither thing has happened for many years now. Maybe apply pressure on it when it is vibrating, and an ice pack when it feels like it's burning.
I have the continuous tingling falling asleep sensation from my feet through my calves. It doesn’t go away. Somehow I’m able to ignore it.
Seein neurologist today. It comes and goes so much now. So annoying. Take Gabapentin but have been for so long it no longer helps. Was just in Florida and my freezing cold arm actually felt normal. Wish I knew where to go in this life.
