A member asked:

What are the symptoms of ms in the spinal cord?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Multiple: Typically MS in the spinal cord presents in non-anatomic symptoms. Weakness or tingling at one or more nerve levels on the right side and different levels or symptoms on the left. A disc will cause symptoms on one side in a predictable distribution. MRI with gadolinium offten suggests or demonstrates MS.
