After more than 10 years I started having new symptoms in my left (the good one) leg. My left leg has always had pins & needles but this weekend I had the burning (freezing) sensation and although it has not gotten worse..it has not gone back to what I call normal. I have e mailed Dr. Kerr and hopefully he will supply some in sight. I also want to thank members on the list who have given me names of Nerros in New Jersey that they use and are happy with I will contact at least one of them. In all honesty I am somewhat afraid! I thought I have been dealing with TM in as positive way as is possible. I just don't know if I could handle another episode especially if It requires hospitalization. I know all of us do not have one day that is exactly the same as the previous one but have any of you experienced new feelings (good or bad) that was not a result of a relapse? If this continues I doubt if I can continue working as the discomfort does not allow me to concentrate on my work. I can only focus on the new feeling of burning! Thank you for any insight you can provide.

This took eight years to occure as the previous yearly MRI's didn't shown any cinching. Now the question is does someone operate?? I think Not!!

Yes, Rob, I have experienced strange sensations and feelings and feared a relapse or second episode, but it ended up just being some weird thing. Sometimes it would just be for a day, sometimes it would last for months and then fade away. You're doing well to get it checked out, and I hope that's all it will be for you, just some strange nerve signal that will resolve in time.

He said he would be extremely surprised if after 10 years I am having a relapse! He did suggest and will prescribe an MRI of the thoracic spine ( to ease my mind). This will be the first MRI in 10 years so it can't hurt to have it done my biggest concern is that they find something that nothing can be done for other than more pain meds. Dr Kerr did provide me with the name of a Neurologist in NJ whom I have already contacted. I will let you know the results from the new Dr. as well as the MRI as soon as I can. Thanks to all of the members who have already responded and who will respond. Life would be so much more difficult without this wonderful list. Thank you all!

I always have the burning/freezing plus the pins and needles, worse on the left but have had it from the start. I just keep on with my water therapy and soon a walking regime. Whenever things got really bad compared to the everyday symptoms I too was afraid that it was a relapse but realized it was usually following working out too hard, traveling where I sat too long, or let myself get too tired. I think your idea of asking Dr. Kerr is a good one. Good news!!! I've been noticing a change where I can feel temperature on my skin on the left side which is the one that has never been able to feel temps! I felt a cool sensation when I was taking off my clothes and then felt the warmth of the shower! I could even feel it on my old butt and thigh!! It still feels numb inside but this is a REAL change! I would do cartwheels if I could!! Jeanne in Dayton -------Original Message------- From: Robert Pall Date: 3/31/2008 8:10:08 AM To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] queston Need a little help!

These are some things to ask Dr. Kerr in Seattle. Your 'cinching' situation is interesting. I wonder 'why now' and what are your new symptoms?

I was just thinking of all of the different stories we have all shared. One of them came to mind in that it talked about how we can't 'walk' the same (those of us who are so blessed to be able to do that) and when we do our unbalanced gait will cause spinal issues. I'll be really interested in what your MRI shows, especially after also reading Frank's e'mail. I'm getting ready to send in our $$ for the Seattle Symposium. We're really excited about it!
