A member asked:

Is intermediate bilateral upper arm pain a symptom if ms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

CONSIDER THIS: You appear to have diabetes, and there is a rather high incidence of peripheral neuropathy with Type 2. You might have neck issues, such as cervical spondylosis. The bilateral upper arm pain issue is not usually encountered in MS patients. Would search for other answers.
