something specific?

Hi everyone, for the past 2 and half months, I have had leg and back pain. I have had 3 different diagnoses..a MS relapse, Sciatica and a condition called Equina cauda syndrome. The pain isn't going away and I struggle to walk because my hamstring and calves on my left leg give way. Anybody else ex...

Hi everyone. I have RES RRMS and experience a lot of pain daily, mainly in my back and legs but can even happen in my arms which is happening more and more. For a while, a pain has been creeping up on me. It is the worst pain I have ever experienced and that is saying a lot! I have particular troub...

In the past week, I've had the MS add spasms and neuropathy to a sciatica I'd been wrangling in the past month. I used to be not sporty by any measure, but active. Keen in walking, 12k+ a day. Now I walk with a stick. It is difficult to come to terms with, but I am blessed with a great clinical tea...

Hiya Shifies, I've been having sciatica for the past month or so - nothing new, had had it before and after Dx. But then my ankle started going weird on the same leg.

Can't walk (got t...

I somehow injured my back over a week ago and not only it is sending my sciatica through the roof, it is also sending my other ms symptoms crazy as well. Pretty much feeling fed up at the moment

Hi, I've been reading all the posts on here for a little while before I plucked up the courage to post. I've had really bad headaches for many years but I was constantly being told it was just stress/anxiety even though I felt there was more to it several doctors said the same I even took myself to ...

Hi all just joined and looking for advice. Five years ago I had a lesion in my spine that gave me paralysis on my right side for months. Around the same time I had a few very small brain lesions that didn’t seem to effect me. I was put on Copaxone. Every year they scan my brain but not my spine as ...

Hello, my name is Antineia Neia For short I am 29 years old. My birthday is February 28. I have no children even though I wish to someday I have currently been battling MS since 2013 I went from wheelchair to walker to using nothing at all to bed to wheelchair back to walker, it hasn’t been easy but...
