Symptoms but doctor refuses to test
25 Oct 2013 at 8:05PM
I have been having problems for several weeks now with pins
and needles in my hands and feet, stabbing pains in my feet, nerve
twitching in my eye and numbness in my fingers. My GP has done many
blood tests and ruled out any deficiencies in my blood. I am concerned I
have symptoms of ms but my GP says these would be localised not in my
hands and feet at the same time at the early stages and refuses to do
any more tests. He says the symptoms will probably go away given time.
A couple of years ago I had similar symptoms in both my arms and, again, tests didn't show any problem - this problem did go away but I was given no reason for it occuring.
My father had ms and, although I know this should not be a factor, it does make me more concerned. Has anyone else had this problem with their GP, do you think he is right, and what should I do? Thank you

I can't say what your problems are but you should ask your Gp
to refer you to a neurologist for more tests to find out what, if
anything, is the matter. Don't be fobbed off!
