Sensory symptoms are the most common initial feature of multiple sclerosis, however certain clinical criteria as well as MRI findings in the central nervous system (brain, spinal column) must be met over "time and space" based on the McDonald Criteria.

This is NOT a description of MS, but instead might suggest issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome in arms, tarsal tunnel syndrome in legs. Not feasible to be precise. This may require more information and an exam. (www.connect@healthtap.com)
