Am I having symptoms....I don't know
In November I had this overwhelming heavyness feeling in my left leg, few weeks later my right leg became painful to tough and felt like skin was burning. Those feelings subsided eventually but then I was left with an aching in my left arm and couldn't lift my arm above my head. I'm now starting to feel my kinda normal but could this have been a relapse or something. I have only had a CIS diagnosis and struggling to identify if I'm getting anything more.
Hi @Duggles2000 . Sorry to hear you're going through this. The kick-start of my MS investigation started with right-side numbness which subsided and left me with a heavy leg. My main physical complaint now is the leg and also my right arm which is also super heavy and whilst I can move it, it's difficult to hold it away from my body. It certainly sounds like these COULD be related to MS but you'll need another scan/lumbar puncture or other to identify any changes from the CIS. Do you have any follow up scans or appointments booked?
@SamanthaF thanks for replying. I had scans and lumbar puncture in 2016 which came back negative so in the end I just put up a shut up and stopped going to GP. Then in December 2021 I pulled my back putting Xmas decorations up so had an MRI which showed legions on the spine and got me referred back to neurology. They did brain scan and confirmed CIS. I have another MS Nurse appointment in February and Neurology in July. I just feel like my health, strength and mobility since my last scan as deteriorated....that said the last week or so I have felt more my pre December 21 scan self apart from weakness in my left arm and hand so I don't know what's going on. I'm at a loss with it all to be honest.
