Body-wide pressure induced numbness despite normal MRI/EMG/Biopsy

Welcome @zzdd33, The symptoms sound a little like thoracic outlet syndrome but you mentioned your MRI and other tests came back normal. I did see some information on Mayo Clinic that mentioned that diagnosing thoracic outlet syndrome can be challenging - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/thoracic-outlet-syndrome/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20353994. I'm tagging @jenniferhunter who has some experience with thoracic outlet syndrome and may have some suggestions or experience she can share with you.
You mentioned that the symptoms started about six months ago. Has your care team suggested any additional testing or referrals to other specialists?

@johnbishop Thank you. My neurologist has recommended I see another neurologist for a second opinion, but was not sure what further testing should be done.
