partial face numbness

Hi, apologies for posting again so quickly! Just trying to work out if the symptoms I'm having are MS related or something else. In addition to a numb left hand with pins and needles, I've now got a weirdly numb face. But it's on the upper right hand side. Can MS related facial numbness be just part...

Im looking for advice? I will be 57 this month and I met with neurology nurse practitioner today. I have spinal stuff going on that could explain my numbness in my arms and the tingling but what led me to them is my frequent falling. I've fallen 3 times in 8 months. Once in the shower. Second time at a childcare center because I work with behavioral children and I fell broke my wrist and I thought I did something to my neck, bit through my lip. Then several weeks ago I just face planted in the garage and broke my nose. The mri did show lesions but I'm pretty old to be diagnosed. Im not sure I want to be diagnosed at this age? Should I even pursue it? Im so confused? Im not one to stick my head in the ground but I also don't want to sit around and get worse. I have other symptoms and I've fallen many times before here and there and just chalked it up to me being clumsy. I could use some advice?

Does anyone else get fingertip numbness in only one hand? Lately I have been experiencing fingertip numbness in only my right hand and according to my last set of MRIs a year ago I only have 17 brain lesions. Anyone else go through this?

Numbness

Hey Guys!! Has anyone else had an experience where their foot went completely numb when waking up? I don't know ow if it's an MS thing or that I just slept in bed the wrong way 😅 Numbness on my whole foot, prevent me to lift my toes up but I seem to lift my heel quite ok.

Hi there! I know numbness is an MS thing. I’m trying to determine if what I’ve am experiencing comes from MS or something that needs a chiropractor. The numbness only happens when I’m walking around for more than twenty minutes. I’d love to hear your thoughts. BTW it just in my upper left leg.

Numbness

I have been experiencing numbness in just my ring ringer on my left hand. This is new however most of the problems I do have seem to be with my Left side. The finger feels like it’s numb from it being cold, but it’s not the reason. Anyone else have issues with just a single finger or toe?
