question: I ve recently learned that I have scoliosis and have had a nettle-like burning/itching and sometimes numbness in my limbs, face and chest. I don t work out much, but if I do anything that gets my heart rate up it seems that I get brief electric shock pulses going through those same areas. I ve also had problems with migraines and severe nausea over the last 2 years. My neurologist says it could be an early symptom of diabetes and I am quite overweight (6 2 , 280 lbs). I m just not sure I agree. I ve had an MRI and an EEG. MRI was completely fine. EEG he first said was just slightly abnormal, then he said it was normal. And I did break my tailbone a few years back. I m wondering if this could all be tied to the scoliosis in my upper thoracic vertebrae or if it could be MS or something else.
