I've been on Tec for 18 months, and per my last MRI I have had no new lesion formation. (Next one is in June.)
I have issues though - I'm guessing these are pseudo-flares. My leg goes completely numb for a day, etc. However, I'm having this one that keeps coming back. I have extreme (EXTREME!!!) pain in my humerus right above my elbow, and it radiates down my arm into my hand, even into the fingers. I can still move my hand and my arm, it just hurts. It hurts so badly that last night when this happened, I must have somehow sliced open my ring finger on something, and had no idea I had done it until I saw the blood and the open skin.
This is the second time in a week this has happened. It always goes away within 12 hours or so, usually after I sleep. My neuro said not to call her until a new issue has lasted more than 48 hours (unless it's extreme).
Is this normal? Is it normal for the same kind of pseudo-flare (assuming that's what I'm actually dealing with) to keep popping back up?
Thanks.
