When do you seek help? I've been awful for a month or so. Wobbly, pins and needles in feet, muscle twitches and massive fatigue.My nurse said if I need to go to a and e then I should just go. That was over a week ago and I feel worse. My question is when do you all see that point? To me a and e is if I hurt myself so I'm very confused. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I have a question. I’m very confused right now. I have both of my legs swollen along with my feet been getting worse throughout the day. I’ve been going through this since November 2023 pain management saying multiple sclerosis. I think there is something else going on along with multiple sclerosis . Should I get a second opinion? Should I call the doctor in the morning?
