New one for me wondering if it is an ms thing ? Since last night Whenever I move my left arm In a certain position I have an intense burning sensation on outside of upper arm near shoulder it’s quite painful and feels like being touched by a hot knife Anyone had this ? ---

My approach to random stuff (yours too, I would guess) is to assume it’s nothing to do with MS until it declares itself otherwise. I hope that this one disappears. Fingers crossed all round. ---

Hi Alison Good advice as always Currently finding myself in the opposite frame of mind blaming everything on ms which I know is the wrong thing to do , just seems like something all the time lately this poxy leg/knee ache doesn’t seem to be shifting right worse than left for some reason, 🤞 this burning pain disappears as fast as it come Thanks
