Hi

I have RRMS and never lose the numbness and tingling completely between relapses. I often ge periods of numbness, tingling or pain in random body parts (usually left lower leg, left hand or around my face/neck) It is worse if I’m a bit run down, poorly or stressed and worst of all during relapse. I spoke to my MS nurse about it and she said that it was not unusual.

Hopethat helps xx

My numbness and tingling definitely come and go. Methinks your consultant is a numpty. I could be ruder but shall restrain myself. Your symptoms sound very typical to me. You’re as normal as the rest of us…(laughing ironically). xx

Hi, I get numbness in my hands most nights and find that if I push my hand against the wall or headboard i can get it to go away. I recently spoke to my physio about this and she gave me compression bandages to wear for an hour a day. I find this helps a little. In regard to general or locum neuro I was told last year not to bother going to the appt as they are just there to tick boxes. You really need to see a consultant who specialises in ms if you have a diagnosis. I would be quite angry if a neuro told me that you don’t get pain with ms. I certainly do. Good luck
