YOU SHOULD GO TO ANOTHER SPECIALIST....
HERE MY STORY...
I have a brother who was experiencing the same thing. He went to this specialist and, as it appears, his creatinine was high. He was called again for another appointment. That appointment affirmed what the doctor predicted in his first visit.
He has some Malignant Hyperthermia... His medical condition is a scare and is rare. He is not allowed to have anesthecia. He could actually die from it. Even a small doze.
Also, you could have MS - Mutiple Sclerosis. If you're young, this illness is fatal.
Go to another doctor.

Did those several doctors include a neurologist? A rheumatolgist? An orthopedic surgeon? A pain specialist?
If any of those is not on your list, please ask your gp for a referral. (Please note that this needs to have been going for for a minimum of 6 months for you to see a pain specialist. That's because chronic pain is defined as pain that has lasted for a minimum of 6 months. You might not, literally, be in pain from this, but the symptoms that you describe would qualify you provided that your problem meets that time requirement. I am a chronic pain patient, and my problems do include neuropathic symptoms, such as the ones that you are describing.)
If you gp won't refer you, then any other doctor can. However, the reports will only go the referring doctor, so if you are referred by a doctor other than your gp, you must arrange for your gp to get a copy of the reports.

Yes, my neck hurt constantly and my finger tips would go numb. Sometimes I would drop things because of the numbness. I went to my neurologist and my family Dr and after about 2 years of this, I want sent to a neurosurgeon and they found that I had a pinched nerve in my neck and several spurs. The Dr. removed them and I have no problems now. It is just finding a Dr. that can find the problem. Good luck.....

i think they aren't running the right tests or they don't have the required facilities to detect your problems but go for a massage i mean a real good massage not the type you do when you want to feel beautiful and concentrate on the trouble areas if possible have the massage regularly maybe twice a week and lie flat on your back with your legs elevated when you want to rest or sleep for some tlme(days)
