If there are no abnormal lesions in brain or neck, with or without contrast, it is highly unlikely that MS would explain your symptoms. However, would recommend thoracic and lumbosacral spine images with contrast to evaluate the "tight band feeling", which could be due to spinal cord problem, (myelopathy), and could explain symptoms in legs.

Ive been having buzzing paresthesia in my left foot since August. I got MRIs of brain and spine on 1.5T w/contrast. I also got an EMG. All tests were normal. The buzzing has spread to my right foot. Could this be MS? I have no other symptoms.
