Keep fighting 💪

You are stronger than your symptoms, braver than your fears, and more powerful than this condition. Keep pushing—one step at a time.

I’m dealing with MS-related foot drop and persistent nerve symptoms (tingling, cold sensation on the top of the foot). I appreciate the advice about keeping the dorsiflexor muscles active and using an AFO when necessary.My main issue isn’t just muscle weakness though — it feels like the nerve signals themselves aren’t fully getting through, which is causing the tingling and cold feeling.Has anyone actually restored the nerve signaling enough to get rid of foot drop?If so, what specifically helped — therapy approaches, electrical stimulation, medications, or other treatments that improved the nerve signal itself?

Does anyone else get weird pain on the top of there head/scalp? It basically feels like I keep hitting my head on something and it’s completely bruised, hurts to the touch. But I haven’t hit my head. Even brushing my hair on those spots hurt. Anyone else?

Hello everyone I was diagnosed in 2011 but never followed until I had a neurologist for the last year while they did pain management they didn’t do anything else so I am seeing a new neurologist this month. I have been in ER 3/4 times I am in extreme amounts of pain primarily my neck and left shoulder, shoulder blade, left hip and leg I keep asking is this MS or something else the ER and even my primary are not answering. Has anyone else experienced anything like this or am I a freak of nature?
