So if you want to do it to relieve stress, look for gentle types of massage that do that. Peace.

Avatar n tn Hi and welcome, Dr Google will always bring up MS when you search tingling, MS will actually come up for hundreds of different types of symptoms because MS effects the central nervous system. The majority of symptoms associated with MS are not unique to MS, and MS wouldn't be the most common cause of the symptoms or symptom pattern you've experienced so realistically MS would be an unlikely explanation compared to other more common explanations...

I have heard that the Bamboo provides a deep tissue massage without the discomfort from the practitioner's hands,arms, or elbows.

Activity usually does not aggravate and there is no nausea or vomiting or sensitivity to light or sound.

Avatar n tn Hello, Sun spots or lentigines, are harmless, flat, brown discolorations of the skin which usually occur on the back of the hands, neck and face of people older than 40 years of age.

If it continues ask your Dr about it cause the PT is the best thing in the world for me.
