Possible ms

Hi all I’m new here and just wanted some advice. I’ve been having issues with mainly my legs for months now. Pain in my hips and travelling all the way down. I have what I can only describe as a fizzing feeling in my legs a lot of the time, it also feels tight and burning at times? (I hope this is making sense) I’ve also started to get pins and needles in my arms and hands. I’ve had an X-ray on my pelvic area. My doctor has just got the results and I have to go in to discuss them on Friday. I came to this site as some concern my doctor had on my first assessment made me look up it all online 🙈 which has led me here. MS is in my family, my aunt has it severely and also my cousin (my aunts brothers daughter) I’m really anxious at the moment as my symptoms are increasing and I now have to wait until Friday to see a gp. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

@lucy89 Hi welcome to the club. From reading your post it would seem to be ms but you never know it could be something else. Dr Google has a habit of sending you of in the wrong direction.... so becarefull of what you read. If they suspect it is MS you'll go through a few tests like blood work, MRI and a lumber puncture . These tend to take a while to happen especially with the NHS. Just try and keep stress to a minimum it really doesn't help. I'm sure you'll get a few more words of wisdom soon from others... Welcome again 😃
