Multiple : Multiple sclerosis is a complex syndrome caused by imbalance in the body's own immune system that leads it to attack something called myelin, a substance that insulates nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. These attacks leave temporary and permanent scars on the brain and spinal cord that can be seen on mri. Symptoms include loss of vision, or loss of feeling or strength in a limb, that may appear and disappear, only to show up in a different spot later on. Spasticity, a condition resulting from poor control of muscle contraction and relaxation, can cause muscle pain, and usually occurs later in the course of the condition. Multiple sclerosis is often thought of as a condition that mostly affects young, white women, but this is a stereotype; men, non-whites, and older people are also affected. Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis is done according to an international standard known as the (revised) mcdonald criteria. These criteria are based on clinical findings, MRI findings, lumbar puncture (spinal tap) findings, and special testing (like evoked potentials). There are also a number of other conditions that can resemble multiple sclerosis symptoms, MRI appearance, and laboratory findings, that may require additional testing to exclude. The less "typical" the presentation, the more important it is to confirm the diagnosis. It is never wrong to consider getting a second opinion. More information about multiple sclerosis can be found at the website of the national multiple sclerosis society http://www.Nationalmssociety.Org/.

Pain and MS: People with MS can experience pain symptoms directly related to their disease, or from muscle spasm/tightness, or to orthopedic problems related to weakness. Pain is not normally a hallmark of MS, many people with MS have no pain. Perhaps it is time to have a face to face visit with the doctor and review your treatment options.
