mellowtiggerThe MRI neck scan seems to have aggravated the symptoms. That's probably good, since it could mean that we've found the source of my problem.
During the MRI scan, I felt heat in my spine in each area as it was being scanned. All day long, I had similar phantom heat/tingling in my spine. I bought some Nyquil that evening to dull my sensations and put me to sleep. It worked.
About 5am, I woke to a muscle cramp in my right calf. I haven't been able to return to sleep because of the recurring muscle twitches in my right ankle, right shoulder, left forearm, and left knee. I still briefly feel moments of phantom heat/tingling in different parts of my spine (anywhere along the whole length of it). I can't walk normally yet either, because the sore muscle of my right calf (from the earlier cramp) won't flex enough to let my trailing foot stay flat on the floor during a pace. I hobbled to the bathroom already, but that calf still threatens to cramp up again whenever I use it.
The business card for my doctor did not include an email address. I guess I'll be calling the clinic to leave a phone message for him after they open later today. I suppose this discovery counts as good news.
