A member asked:
Can numbness that is associated with ms be more like things becoming numb more easily rather than just things spontaneously going numb?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numbness: MS has definite MRI findings so if concerned would recommend MRI. Any numbness would also consider vitamin deficiencies like B12 , carpal tunnel if in hands, Thoracic outlet if in last 3 digits of hand and side of arm-i.e. compression issues.Would also check thyroid, and electrolytes( like magnesium) f/u /w/ doc .
