My right side seems to be loosing muscle. my dr. said he cannot detect anything wrong.?

Question

i went to the doc. who did some examination with a hammer. he said he cannot detect anything wrong. He said the muscle lose is not noticeable. the worst is i feel my clothes are getting loose on the right side, i especially feel it when am wearing trousers. My right leg is also having restless leg syndrome, almost continously, and seems to be having more sensations and more painful when massaged than the left side. Generally my right side gets more tired. Am so worried. I don't know what to do. anybody experienced this. any type of specialist i should see, anything to avoid taking? I am female, 36 yrs.old

Answer 1

Can you get your doctor to refer you to a neurologist by any chance? I don't want to scare you in any way, but I was having those similar symptoms especially with my left side, my muscles were hurting, and my legs were feeling like they were turning into jelly. After many months of the doctors in my town now knowing what was up, I finally asked to get referred to a neurologist, and after soem MRI's and blood tests, and the last test was a spinal tap, I was notified by my doctor that I have MS. Please get to a neurologist and tell him/her what is going on. My best of luck to you and I hope whatever it is that is making you feel this way, isnt' something so serious. Take care

Answer 2

Get a second opinion quickly.
It could be nothing other than simple muscle fatigue or something worse.
Make an appointment with another doctor and ask him, if he can't give you an answer you're satisfied with, ask for the name of a specialist and make an appointment with him.
Good Luck.
