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?

Hi, my name is Grace I am 19yrs old, Born and Raised in Philly. I never really knew much about MS though I do have 2 family members who have it. I have been experiencing numbness, tingling, sciatica, fatigue, double vision, itching and tingling sensation in my skin, tremors, weakness in my arms and legs, balance issues, etc… I went to see my Primary and she said it could be MS, though I do have some other things going on. She ordered a MRI for me but they didn’t really find anything. I went to see a Neurologist and he looked over my scans and suggested I get a another MRI just to be sure and this time lthey are looking at the whole spine. I sometimes I feel like I may not be taken seriously because of my age. But hopefully I can figure out what’s going on with me because this whole process has been tiring and frustrating. But the MRI is at the end of the month so I guess we’ll see.

Numbness and tingling

I got my diagnosis a week ago and I’m starting to question things that have happened to me which I’ve always disregarded but could have been an MS symptom. I’ve experienced a lot of numbness/tinging particularly in my hands/feet and sometimes my leg but I have always put it down to holding my phone ...

Numbness

The last week I been experiencing lots of numbness in my hands and in my feet. I have never had that before. I wake up with it it goes away after a little while. Pops up during the day. I assume its MS related. But this is new to me. Is this common?

Numbness with a side of pain

It sounds so weird and when I try to explain it to some people, they just look at me confused. To touch, my right leg feels numb and walking on it just feels weird but the pain and burning sensation that is going through my whole leg is just horrible. No point to this post other than neuropathic pai...

Unable to sleep due to numbness, any way to solve this?

I’m 18 and new to this. One of my most annoying symptoms is waking up with numbness everyday. Last night was the worst. I woke up and felt my WHOLE scatiac being numb and tingly. I wake up with numb hands, feet, legs, arms, etc multiple times a night. I shake it off for 5 minutes before it goes away...
