I’m not sure what to think of symptoms.
Hi, I’m new to shiftMS. I was diagnosed in 2015. Two lesions in my cervical spine, one very tiny one in my brain and some on my left optic nerve. There has been no new progression. My last MRI was 6/2018. I have noticed a strange sensation in my left leg when I first start walking and then it dissipates. It’s kind of a tingling sensation around my shin and foot. I have been having leg fatigue when walking up flights of stairs and steep inclines. I was on a hike just the other day and once the incline started I quickly noticed leg fatigue and my pace slowed tremendously. It was like my legs were cinderblocks and I had to focus on each step. It was exhausting and even made me breath heavy. I also have been having pain around my right ankle. It makes me stop because it gets very intense with each step. After a few minutes it disappears and I am fine. Does this sound familiar to anyone? My first noticeable symptoms were mostly visual. I don’t want to cry wolf to my Dr. Does this sound like MS?
Hi @sara_tusing and welcome. Have a read of the following webpage and you should be able to identify whether you are experiencing relapse activity or whether your MS is "grumbling" because you pushed yourself too hard :- https://www.mstrust.org.uk/about-ms/ms-symptoms/managing-relapses If you believe it is relapse activity, you should advise your Doctor, for advice and to have this recorded.
Thank you stumbler! The site was very helpful. I think it may be ms grumbling. It does go away after I rest. I just don’t understand if I don’t show lesions in that area why it happens. I guess it’s just par for the course though.
