Question 1

does the lesion or symptom occur first in multiple sclerosis and can the lesion appear 5 years later than the symptoms?

Accepted Answer

: While early MS patients may have a normal brain MRI, often the spinal.MRI would show abnormalities. I doubt 5 years of true MS symptoms would go by without positive MRI findings though. A neurologist would be best to answer your question, however.

Question 2

can the ms hug be the only symptom  of multiple sclerosis?

Accepted Answer

Initially maybe: The MS "hug" is indicative of spinal cord involvement, and may be a presenting feature, but could occur later in form of relapse.  If you have such problems, it could be due to a different cause and this needs sorting out.  If you indeed have MS, you should be placed on potent medication.  Would a Concierge visit help guide you?

Question 3

can someone with a multiple sclerosis also show a symptom of hairy leukoplakia?

Accepted Answer

Hairy tongue: Medications can cause hairy tongue as well as smoking.  It is not general knowledge or a symptom associated directly with ms in particular.

Question 4

i feel every time i walk there is a band around my leg, when i stop walking the feeling of the band stops. could this be the first symptom of multiple sclerosis?

Accepted Answer

: No!  But if you are worried that you have multiple sclerosis, see a neurologist.

Question 5

is trigeminal neuralgia a symptom of multiple sclerosis?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Trigeminal neuralgia in a younger adult may be caused by multiple sclerosis.  However, there must be more than just trigeminal neuralgia to define definite ms.  History of other suspicious symptoms, abnormalities on neuro exam other than just trigeminal neuralgia and supplemental diagnostic studies will better define the suspicion for ms.

Question 6

could tremors in hand and face be only symptom of multiple sclerosis?

Accepted Answer

: Possible  but diagnosis can be very tricky early. Spend some $ and go to uptodate.com and read all about it. Take good notes on how your body is talking to you. Share with your Dr.

Accepted Answer

Long list: The differential diagnosis for this question is quite long. It is best to see an ophthalmologist.

Question 9

can multiple sclerosis start with a feeling of tightness in the lower leg, pressure and weight on the lower leg only when walking , how common is this initial symptom?

Accepted Answer

: What you describe is very unlikely the initial symptom of MS. By the way, what is the reason you think of this debilitated condition in the first place? Take care.

Question 10

Multiple sclerosis: Is a condition that may result in deterioration of the nerves themselves. This process is not reversible. Symptoms of ms vary, depending on the location of affected nerve fibers. Pain and weakness are on the list, but " innocent until proven guilty".
