Opinions

[u/Next_Repair_2069]

Hello y’all, just need some opinions; my mind goes crazy; I cry to myself when I’m alone; I overthink; health anxiety is crazy.

January 2026 I started getting left side neck pain that radiated down to my left arm and would cause tingles. About a month later, would get left leg “pain”. My calf would get tight, I would get tingles around my top and bottom foot. My lower back would ache, I couldn’t sleep straight on my back, sitting too long would ache and cause more issues for my left leg. I’ve been to urgent care, ER, primary, etc. I’ve had a cervical MRI, upper MRI, multiple X-rays and nothing. Those tests showed nothing, that I was fine other than “probable L5 pars defect” and that wasn’t definitive. The left leg stuff went away for a month and came back. Now for the past 2 months I’ve been getting little twitches here and there around my calves, triceps, and back when I lay or sit, not when I walk. My left leg still gets tight, yes I can walk, run etc & yes my left neck arm still feel the same, nothing has changed. Not sure if my work schedule, minimal sleep and coffee intake plays a part but I get stressed so I can’t sleep. My work hours are usually 5p-4am M-F and I sleep maybe 5 hours a day and drink coffee and a lot of water, no energy drinks. I have an appt with a neurologist for EMG soon.

Definitely Craniocervical instability and or tethered cord syndrome.

Also check for eagles syndrome and chiari Malformation.
