The pins and needles, numbness, etc are all part of fibro. I have had fibromyalgia for 30 years and they come and go. I have been completely numb up to my knees at times. These are common symptoms of this disease.I am sorry you are suffering from all of this, but I would trust the first MRI. Sometimes this disease can be scary and it causes so much a anxiety.....try to relax and thank God you do not have MS. Hugs to you!!! 💕

I agree that pins and needles and numbness is part of fibro. I called it “voodoo doll” pains because it felt like someone was poking needles in a voodoo doll and I was feeling them.

That aside my lumbar issues have caused my toes to be numb as well as pins and needles feelings on the bottom of my feet. Similarity cervical stenosis causes numbness in my hands, “funny bone” pain running down my arms and daily dropping of things. I also have Carpal tunnel from years of typing. I was shocked when my Orthopaedic Surgeon suggested that I had cervical stenosis. The lumbar and cervical stenosis pain, numbness and issue are constants. I can mitigate them but they show up just as I turn the corner. Physical therapy (exercises, stretches, massages, hot and cold therapy) helped but the issues would return the next day. I mention this as something to consider checking when you can.

Hugs!

I have fibromylagia for almost 10y. Recently I start having many new symptoms including pins and niddles in my feet but also on random spots of my body . I firs thought like bee or mosquito bit me but then its starts happening more often and its like someone poke me with needle I have it even on my face. I also haf MRI few years ago to check for ms but came back normal.

No. No MS. But the symptoms you mentioned. I do have. The FMS is over 30 years. The symptoms increased over the entire time. I worked the 30 + years pushing more than I should have. Grasping is ridiculous. I journal everyday, I have to open my hand remove the pencil and hold my arm up over my head to get feeling back, and the pain out. I think that part of the disability benefits' should include a house maid, to make dinner, walk the dog, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, wash my hair, and write my words in the journal for me. (And type now) fingers go numb, and spikes poke through my finger tips). My Lumbar spine is fused and Arthritic. So, yeah, we share the same sensations. I would say this, it can make a difference in your well being to have a more positive outlook. I believe when we dwell on what could be, may be, or could happen, does. Don't think about things that aren't there. You have have enough with what you already have. You will drive yourself crazy, with each new sensation. Don't let it win! I fought this over 30 years. I'd rather fight then give into this crappy disease. I can't wait to get to heaven, and ask Lord Jesus Christ, what caused this bizarre illness, in the first place. It will probably be a simple answer, something to do with preservatives! LOL Honestly, I do not look my age at all, too bad my body does. Here' looking for the bright side. Last couple of days have been rather dark.

It's not that I want MS, not at all. Was just curious if anyone has been diagnosed with it after their fibromyalgia diagnosis. I am so grateful my MRI came back negative for it and hope it never does show up. I am grateful every day to God for all the blessings he has and continues to bestow upon me. As bad as fibromyalgia is I know things can always be worse and it has made me a stronger person. I appreciate everyone's responses and hugs. Greatly appreciated! 🥰
