Hello Doctor, My husband is 35 years old. Last six months back he is having hands, neck and leg cramps he had physiotherapy treatment and other medication. He took MRI scan also no problem was diagnosed in that scan and everything is looks normal. Finally neuro surgeon suggested us to check with psychiatrist and we consulted doctor too. As per his study it's just kind of feeling nothing more than any health issue and he suggested some prescription of medicine for fifteen days. From that time onwards my husband feels that and keep on says some weakness is there like that. Again from last few days he is saying he is having hands weakness and in the night in the middle of sleep he suddenly worked up and says my little finger is having some pain and numbness. Please suggest us what actions we have to take. Is it a psychological problem or any health issue.

Hello. Weakness, pain and cramps can be a symptom of a lot of conditions, that may or may not show up on an MRI. But I am assuming the Neurosurgeon ruled out other neurological conditions before referring to a Psychiatrist. I would advise to keep your correspondence with the Psychiatrist as she is handling your husband's case now. If you have doubts then see another Psychiatrist that you trust. If the condition is not physical, then it may be a psychosomatic illness. It is also treatable.
