Hello,
I was diagnosed 21 years ago, so I should probably know the answer to this because I've had flares with burning, itching, numbness, etc... But recently I had like 3-4 weeks of some kind of strange muscle pain in my back, especially in my upper back/shoulders accompanied by occasional spasming/tightness? During that time, I also had like a week of unexplained muscle pain in both quad muscles in my legs. It finally disappeared as mysteriously as it began and I never even thought MS until my pcp asked if it could've be a MS flare up (symptoms had improved by the time got in to see him). Now I'm wondering...
I've always thought the pain aspect of MS as being like chronic because I do have chronic low back pain/stiffness and chronic migraine issues, etc. But can pain (of various types) also be a flare up? Thank you in advance for any insight into this.
