I’m also fairly new to this MS malarkey (april2025) but one of my relapse symptoms was a dead arm, when in the car as a passenger my arm couldn’t sit in my lap it kept drifting down to hang where the handbrake was, it also sometimes included sharp nerve pain in the elbow and wrist. It also stopped naturally swaying when walking, the arm just hung lifeless at my side. As I was so new to MS I didn’t know this was a relapse till I had my neuro appointment. Thankfully the arm is now almost 100% normal just left with some weakness. If test for infection comes up clear and the dead arm pain persists I’d contact your MS nurse again. Really hope it improves soon xx
