Question 9

what would be proper treatment for someone who suffers from m.s. and has a frozen hip?

Accepted Answer

2 areas: 1. As always, treat the MS with a potent disease modifying agent, such as Gilenya, Tysabri, (natalizumab) or Lemtrada.
2. The hip issue is not caused by the MS but needs orthopedic attention, and if surgery needed, there is NO contra-indication for anesthesia or surgery.  Neither will affect the MS.

Question 10

i have had the cyst drained but it came right back. whats going on, do i need more treatment?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Fluid-filled cysts can be drained and that may help for a long time.  But the fluid sometimes returns.  If it is not bothering you, then you can do nothing.  If it is, then you can have the whole cyst removed.  Before doing any surgery, even minor, get two opinions though.
