  • Hi  

    I'm sorry to read about all the symptoms you're experiencing but you've done the right thing in going to see your GP.

    As you say your symptoms are getting worse, it would be a good idea to tell your GP. You could also check at the same time when your MRI appointment is due.

  • Hi thank you for replying back i had my mri last week on my head and neck the dr at the time when I told him what happening to me with the head aches and uncontrolled body twitching and so on he said i had cervical spine disorder i said ur not listening to me it scareing the hell out of me im in a lot of discomfort he as put me on tablets called gabapentin but they don't help in any way I don't know what to do 

  • You need to speak to your GP as you've said the medication hasn't helped and you're feeling worse.

    Write down all your symptoms so that when you're speaking to your GP you don't forget anything.

  • I should also add that you could phone NHS111 this evening to get their advice.
