So for many years I've had swollen feet (the left especially) a pain and tender spot in my left abdomen and occasional severe back pain. Over the years my neuro's and regular MD's just fluffed off my problem as being MS (which I DO indeed have)
Well, about a month ago I ended up in an ambulance with profuse sweating and a HUGE amount of pain in my gut and back. I went right into the operating room and spent 5 days in ICU recovering from the almost 10 CM abdominal aorta aneurysm they ended up fixing just as it started leaking!
I was about as close to knocking on Heavens door as one can get.
The sad thing is this was bothering me so much that I went to my regular MD to look into it. Same thing... "It's the MS"
I actually asked the doctor at the time to pretend he didn't know I had MS and to look into this with new eyes. He blew me off.
This is just a warning to all to let you know not all of our ills have to be MS related. There are many other systems in our bodies and to be forewarned that problems other than MS may occur even to us MS victims.
