hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you. as you mentioned about the MRI reports you didn't mention anything in particular - was the MRI done for the cervical and lumbar spine Or it was done for the Brain.

Usually when there is a disc degenerative changes in the cervical or lumbar spine this kind of symptoms arise. But also when the cervical and lumbar spine shows normal than has to check with EMG and NCV along with MRI of brain to come closer to the root cause.

Usually when all reports are normal, which has happened in many cases the symptoms are temporary and can get ease slowly once the metabolism is improved.

Doing regular meditation, breathing exercises and general body conditioning helps to improve the metabolism and as the whole body which acts as unit improved your symptoms will reduce.

Continuing the same in the future will help you for long term relief.

Most of the times, this symptoms are stress related issues and some are pathological which can be controlled by the medicine and exercise.

with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery.

regards
