Maria Fisher46 said:It isn't quite clear from your description which specific diagnosis we are looking at—is it neuropathy, polyneuropathy, or perhaps something else entirely?
Furthermore, what exactly does "hypersensitivity" mean in the context of the symptoms you're experiencing? Are you perhaps referring to hyperesthesia—that heightened sensitivity to touch or pain?
I have taken the liberty of adjusting the thread title until a final diagnosis can be established.
The truth is, nobody has any certain answers yet. For two months now, I have been bouncing from one specialist to another, visiting urologists, general practitioners, and even infectious disease experts here in the States. My blood work came back clean, there's no sign of infection, and my ultrasound for my bladder and kidneys showed nothing unusual. Regarding my spine, they did find a minor bilateral protrusion—essentially some narrowing—at the L5-S1 disc. However, my neurologist insists that since the protrusion is so slight, it shouldn't be the culprit behind the burning sensations and pain in my bladder and groin area. His conclusion was that I am dealing with hypersensitivity, and he suggested this should subside within three to six months. I actually have bruising on my groin, almost as if I’d been struck; something is clearly causing this irritation, and I dealt with some discharge as well. After six days of Voltaren injections combined with Diazepam, things calmed down slightly, though I am still taking them in pill form now. The reality remains that the pain and burning persist. It's a wandering pain—sometimes it migrates to my groin, sometimes to my bladder, and occasionally to my testicles. In the beginning, even the slightest touch was agonizing, though it has improved just a little bit. I truly hope this isn't anything dangerous. They mentioned something called "chronic pelvic pain syndrome," where the cause remains elusive, and they also brought up autoimmune conditions where the body's own defense system turns against itself.
I should also mention that everything really kicked off about two months ago when I started feeling these strange tingling sensations in my hands and feet. Shortly after that, my lower body just gave out on me.
