Walking issues
Hello, can anyone help me please, I have pain on the inside of my legs at the top, I think its my adductors but can't be sure, on 3 occasions now whilst out walking my dog the pain gets worse and my left leg starts to get heavy, (its as if the muscle is getting really tight) the more I walk the heavier my leg gets, the pain is both legs but the heaviness only happens on the left leg, if I keep walking my leg eventually stops working altogether and then my leg is essentially paralysed, I can't lift it or move it at all, once I rest for about 10 minutes my leg is back to normal and like nothing happened, is this common and does anyone else have this issue? I should add I have not been diagnosed with ms, all tests, MRIs, NCT and blood tests are all normal, but have too many neurological issues to mention but some are tingling, electric shocks, thinking issues, fatigue and pain, especially feet and toes, (I could rip them off and I think they would feel better) it all started slowly July last year, I've been told it could be fibro because there is no other option I guess, 🤷♀️
Me again😂 thought I'd just add that I had a really good day yesterday so decided to clean my sons room, cleaned his window, curtains the whole shebang, I was so proud after, its been months since I've had the energy, anywhoo I woke up today and literally feel like I've been hit by a truck, everything hurts and I'm so moody, my poor husband is getting it!!
Hi @Maria. You must be awfully frustrated to have all of these symptoms with no diagnosis. MS is different for everyone, but your symptoms would not be uncommon for someone with MS. Have you considered seeking out an MS specialist for a second opinion? It is possible to have lesions that are still too small to see on an MRI. The National MS Society has a tool for finding a specialist in your area. Here is a link:https://www.nationalmssociety.org/Resources-Support/Find-Doctors-Resources. There are also several health conditions that can mimic MS. Though your doctor ran a lot of tests, there might still be some to rule out. Here is an article that lists the various conditions: https://multiplesclerosis.net/diagnosis/ruling-out-other-health-conditions. I hope this helps and that you get answers and relief soon.
