Hi I started to have an odd sensation in my right leg starting from toe to hips and lower right abdomen for last 1 month.Whenever i came in touch of water i felt a kind of pinprick or i felt like the water crossing over some wounds in my leg.Once I rub the water with my hand, the feeling reduces or after some time of keeping my leg under the water the feeling goes away. There is no weakness in my leg. I got admitted to a hospital and consulted one Neurosurgeon where after MRI and few other tests they found a a worm in the spinal chord and declared the source of the symptom as NCC. After 7 days of hospitalization with a treatment for NCC I am now going through the the post hospitalization medicines as prescribed but the symptoms did not decrease at all.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It would be helpful, if you can upload the MRI pictures and the report. Was the diagnosis of neurocysticercosis (NCC) made on the basis of MRI, or was any biopsy also done? It may be alright in the initial phase to start the treatment on the basis of MRI. However, if symptoms worsen, then, a repeat MRI should be done and a biopsy may be required to confirm the diagnosis. Please also send a list of all medications, which you are taking at present. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
