In response to:
Little background.....I am 39yo and have been having (what I thought) was carpal tunnel, bursitis, tmj, sciaitica, etc. issues since my early 20's..Been to many doc's but my symptoms magically go away on their own after weeks with no further intervention..I've been to a hand  & shoulder specialist, rhuematologist, family doc, ob/gyn orthopedic doc and finally the neurologist on and off since.  I'm concerned that trying to get the best medical treatment for my symptoms may have caused me to not be diagnosed with anything in particular. My most recent episode has lasted over 2 months and got progressivly worse.  I am having numbness, tingling, burning and PAIN in my left hand with no relief from meds.  My neurologist did what seems like a quick exam including questions and reflex test and his diagnosis included an MRI to check for MRI leasons (sp?).....Why did he jump to that conclusion so quickly and not consider a possible pinched nerve in my neck??  Anyway, here are some of my symptoms that i've gathered from several different doctors at several different times in my life.......Pain, numbness, tingling, weakness & burning in left arm.  TMJ problems, Low (27) Vitamin D blood level, Depression (including adhd symptoms, procrastination, confusion, trouble organizing myself)  Fatigue, carpel tunnel sympoms, bursitis symptoms, Astygmatisim (??) Ganglion cysts (??)  periods of very frequent bowel movements (up to 6 per day) folowing constipation, joint stiffness and pain etc... Just wondering if any or all of these symptoms may be related? Any advice would be appreciated
