I have ms. i've been having bad shin splints and my left leg from knee down is swollen for weeks. what is this?

Knee symptoms: Although patients with MS can have various symptoms throughout the body due to active MS inflammation, your symptoms may or may not be related. MS patients have non neurological knee and leg problems just as much as anyone else. If your MS specialist is convinced that your MS is dormant, you need a good workup by a specialist for your leg symptoms. Ask your Doctor for a referral.

Weeks???: Have you not let your neurologist know that this has been going on? If not, you should right away. MS does not cause swelling but complications of MS could. Do not delay any longer.

Left leg: Your local swelling is not due to the MS, and is more likely an issue regarding inflammation or venous congestion. Would recommend ultrasound imaging as possible that you could be experiencing thrombophlebitis in left leg veins, but you do need evaluation from your doctor also.
