Is this MS or sciatica?

Hello all! So I have a question. I’m experiencing severe pain when moving my neck. It’s only my neck and it’s been going on for 3 days now. I’ve had this pain a few times before and I just assumed it was sciatica. These syptoms started when I was at work so I know it likely not because I slept wrong...

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...

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.

I wonder if anyone else has noticed this and done.any digging. Your body can get rid of it apparently but I'm sceptical. Edit: I have fa...

Diagnosed with “Demylenation disease of central nervous system”, GP said he can’t officially say MS until I see neurologist.

Just want to vent really as It’s all so new and I have no one to relate to! My story starts with Lhermitte’s sign out of the blue from the 1st September 2024, it was initially so intense and every time I looked down. I also noticed deteriorating vision at the same time which lead to a stronger gla...
