Kind of a silly question : We all know MS is a disease of the CNS. We all know that it effects our muscles in some way or other (extreme physical fatigue, etc.). But I'm wondering how much it effects our muscles because I've been having some new and odd symptoms, and I'm not sure if it is the MS or not.
My left ankle has felt lightly sprained for almost a month now. At first, it was only an occasional twinge (usually at bed time, first thing in morning and at first when getting up to walk after sitting for a while). Then, after about 2 weeks of that, it began hurting all the time (I started wearing a brace at this point). It feels exactly like a mild sprain. By this point, you may be asking yourself "Why doesn't she just accept that it's a sprained ankle?" Well, because I don't recall doing ANYTHING that would have caused a sprain. No trips, falls, new high heels, getting kicked in the ankle ... nada.
Anyway, then I began having intermediate pain in my right shin and on top of my right foot.
In addition, now my left arm sometimes hurts to move - not too weak to move, just has a sharp pain somewhere between shoulder and elbow.
All of these things feel more like problems with the musculature than any of my previous symptoms. Has anyone had similar issues that result from MS?
I don't want to blame every little thing that crops up on MS, but I am drawing a complete blank as to other causes on these issues.
Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks.
