Multiple sclerosis: It is common that patients physicians attribute many of the symptoms to multiple sclerosis.However your symptoms could represent something else. Musculoskeletal pain secondary to weakness and abnormal posture could be indirectly related to ms . Muscle stretching exercises help. Associated with muscle spasms may response to medications like Zanaflex (tizanidine) or baclofen. Check with your physician to see if the base is appropriate. Be well.

Evaluate co-morbidit: Would consider additional problem with neck, brachial plexus, or shoulder directly. See your neurologist and get this sorted out
