Tingling, burning, stabbing pains, various symptoms

Thank you for your reply Pippa

My stomach bug was seven weeks ago, it was an upper abdominal griping, lower abdominal cramping, diarrhoea, no vomiting, raised fever and loss of appetite, every now and then I get a bit of griping followed by an air bubble feeling filtering down my system, this I think is residual, I have had the muscle type feeling for about a week, also thinking that maybe it’s to do with the bug or something triggered by my autoimmune condition, the burning that I have experienced for over two years is down to it I think, it’s gets really confusing working out where different symptoms come from,  Isound like an hypochondriac!! But my autoimmune thing causes so many different things!  it messes with your head, had it for over thirty years.

Best to see a doctor to confirm where these symptoms are coming from. They will be more likely to work out the cause.  I find trying to figure medical stuff out myself too complicated and I find it more helpful and reassuring to see my doctor.

So confusing isn’t it kennyatw, well the symptoms are! I didn’t realise that nerve damage can cause tingling and lots of other things especially burning sensations, I hate all these things, I rarely talk about them because I would come across as an hypochondriac or even  putting it on! Hope you are ok at the moment.

Well my rheumatologist is passing me off to neurosurgery to see if they have any ideas what to do. Meanwhile I had a nerve ending test yesterday at my neurologist office he said that it is still about the same as the last one I had done about a year ago supposedly. I don't trust doctors though, they never give you a straight answer

I try to not go to my doctors because I come out of the surgery not content with the diagnosis! To be honest I tend to just live with the aches and pains associated with my AS and there has been plenty of them over the years haha My last visit to my GP was ok though because he fully explained what was causing the tingling and numbness, I found that taking a Vitamin D supplement has reduced the tingling a great deal.

I have been taking all types of vitamins including vitamin d. But they don't seem to be doing any good

Hi anon987654

First to say, my condition is Ankylosing Spondylitis AS for short, dx 21 years ago but can trace it back for a good few years before that. I too get the eye socket pain and sinus pain, so many nigglely aches and pains! My abdomen feels more sore now on the upper abdomen but mainly along my middle, my weight and appetite are ok, I think it’s just something that will work itself out, I also think that the original bug could have triggered my AS off and caused the problem that I have now, these triggers have happens countless times in different areas of my body, anything worse than a cold sets it off! My mum had shingles years ago and she says that she is still getting problems from it! I haven’t heard of Allodynia, what is it?

Hi

Your condition is also very painful by the looks of it! AS can be very painful depending where it targets, but yes mine has caused nerve damage due to inflammation in my neck and back. I don’t take pain relief as my pain is bearable.
