Could Neuropathy actually just be muscle Tightness??

Q: I recently had a pretty serious viral respiratory infection. At the time prior to that I was power lifting a significant amount of weight. As the infection resolved i was getting Neuropathy in my fingers on both sides and sciatica in my right leg. Being scared that this might be something more serious I got checked into a hospital. They checked me for stroke symptoms, Lupus, Lime Disease, Diabetes and MS, which all came back negative. In a recent visit with the Neurologist he said I might have peripheral neuropathy and stress which is expanding my symptoms. I am getting an EMG to see how my nerves are conducting signals next week. I am just wondering if my nerve pain might just be tightness in my muscles or tendons that are compressing some nerves. I did have the pain in my fingers a few months ago when lifting but that gradually resolved. If so, could stretching more be the simple solution to my problems or should I be more concerned. I have not lifted since than by the way.

A: peripheral neuropathy wouldn’t feel like muscle tightness. Many people report a tingling, loss of ability to control the affected muscle and pain. The EMG should show how the nerves are sending messages to the brain. Why would you have muscle tightness that has lasted this long? That doesn’t make any sense either. I think your neurologist is probably on to something.I wish you good Luck
