New to MS new to pain

Hi everyone. My name is Amy, I’m 23 years old and was diagnosed with RR in December 2017 so, I’m still new to this. I was just wanting some advice...I’m currently having pain in my lower back, in my left bum cheek and it’s travelling in both my legs. I’m just confused because I don’t know if this is because of the MS or whether it’s something else and that I would be silly to say it’s because of the MS....would really appreciate any feedback please! A big thank you in advance!xox

Hi @amylouise It could be any number of things but it sounds like a thing I suffer from nothing to do with MS as far as I'm concerned but It might be you never know. It sounds like sciatica which is you either pulled a muscle or trapped a nerve in your lower back. Best bet is to go see your GP. A bit of rest and gentle exercise helps. Keep smiling Just take it a bit easy.

Hi @amylouise and welcome. It's important to determine the type of pain they you're feeling. The following article may help :- https://www.mstrust.org.uk/a-z/pain I'd be tempted to call your MS Nurse and discuss this problem. You may need some physio-therapy or some neuropathic pain relief.........
