HA123 0 Posted April 23, 2021 Alright here I go. For over two years I have had tingling in one finger that comes and goes, sometimes goes away for months but sometimes is there day in and day out on and off for minutes at a time. The one finger is my ring finger on my left hand. I also experience muscle twitching all over, and vibrating feelings in random spots on my body. Sometimes I feel as though my vision is blurry but usually after a long day and I have recently just been for an extensive eye exam that was normal other than my typical far sightedness. I have googled MS extensively and read far too much about it. I have had fears about other conditions but MS is persistant due to my fear of "poor quality of life"/ paralysis. I did have a period last year with pain behind my left eye, but it was during allergy season and I do have severe allergies. Doesn't help that I'm also in nursing school so I learn about everything, and a professor told a story one day (two years ago) about a friend who was diagnosed with MS and "it all started with tingling in one finger". I guess im asking if anyone has tingling in just one finger also? thats the scary part for me, that its not all fingers which would make me automatically think anxiety, but one specific finger. I do have a physically demanding job and recall injury to the left forearm years ago, but I dont remember feeling this tingling then. Anyone with this fear/ similar experience would be helpful!

Ironman 190 Posted April 23, 2021 A lot of this might be in your mind, but if it goes on for a long time, maybe a test would help. Granted, it will be an expense If you proceed with a test. It sounds like a combination of your job and stress. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARC 429 Posted April 23, 2021 My wife's friends sister and a former client of mine have had MS for many years and their symptoms were nothing like yours. My GI physician once told me to not look up symptoms online as the worst case scenario is typically described. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobnnat 496 Posted April 23, 2021 Could much more likely be a local, simple nerve issue affecting the finger perhaps related to your job Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doug97 19 Posted September 22, 2021 I don't see it being MS if you've had a tingling finger for 2 years and it still hasn't progressed to anything else. If it was MS it must be the mildest case medical science has ever seen! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
