Common Questions and Answers about Ms symptoms knee

Can it happen in MS? Yes it can. Your physical history suggests that your knee pain has something to do with inflammation around your knee and you need to get back with the doctor that replaced your knees.
Your Meniere's should be followed up by an ear, nose and throat doctor.
I know that you are already on Rebif, so may I suggest that you find out if dizziness is one of the side effects?
I hope that others will come along to try and give you some more insight than I am able to give.
m not sure where to turn so thank you in advance for any guidance. My 26 year old son is exhibiting symptoms of what sounds like MS. He is a current graduate student in an allied health field. In October 2016 he was diagnosed with vestibular neuritis. At that time he had sudden onset of vertigo, nystagmus, tinnitus. Was treated with a steroid and seemed to resolve in about a week.
I am going tomorrow for the results of my MRI of Brain and Spine, VEP (visual evoked potential) and EMG. Of course I have alot of anxiety because I have exhibited several MS symptoms. About 20 years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and I am hypothyroid. My questions is would anyone be willing to tell me some of the symptoms they were experiencing prior to your MS diagnosis?
Are MS symptoms lasting or do they come and go? I have numbness in my right hand I experience for a while that eventually goes away. I also sometimes wake up with numbness in my right thigh...it doesn't extend past my knee, and it doesn't last either. I also have visual symptoms where I my vision goes completely black for a period of time but comes back.
Hi, last Summer before my MS diagnosis I woke with a small amount of pain in my right knee. I went to work but by the end of the day, it was excruciating! Like you, there was no swelling and it was not in the joint. I can't say that I felt electric shock like you, mine was different.
I could stand or lay perfectly still and not hurt, but to try to lift my foot to walk or move in any way was unbearable!
Hi and welcome,
Your question has found it's way to the MS community and I personally don't think MS would be the obvious answer, because there are other more common causes. I did a quick google and whilst MS came up first (it usually does), it didn't seem to be specific enough to really pin down, things like RLS, vascular issues, peripheral neuropathy and even mental health came up.
It appears your MRI benchmark tests have not indicated ms. We also know when you google almost any symptoms, ms comes up 99% of the time
It is often a long and hard road to prove ms, many mimic diseases have to be ruled out first, and your tests so far are not indicating ms. I'd suggest a neuro to rule out any other problems and just maybe fibro meds might help you
We know how hard it us to be where you are, many of us could just substitute our situations exactly where you are!
After notifying my neurologist and walking around like a duck for nearly a week (I thought I was on my way to being bedridden), my neurologist came across this (or very similar condition) in one of her MS books. She titled my knee buckling problem as a "paroxysmal positive motor disturbance". Her cure was to put me on Dilantin~an anti-seizure medicine.
has helped THAT knee some, but other symptoms continue so went to rhuematoloist.. diagnois B12, folic acid and vit d severe defiencies and was placed on folic acid vit d pills with weekly b12 shots.. but wondering if this could be just masking a MS problem.. I did also have ankle problems at 25 so severe they would turn black from bruising and was off on disability for 12 weeks..and always had a fatigue problem with high white cell count..but this is a first for low b12..
Usually MS symptoms go away during pregnancy. If you're having neurological symptoms, perhaps it's something else - thyroid or vitamin deficiency.
Hello,
I am nearly 20 yrs of age and active/generally healthy but experiencing a few symptoms that match that of MS (progressive) and have done for a good year or two; I get a tingling feeling from my left elbow all the way into my small finger everyday on a regular basis and I also experience a weak feeling in my right hand and arm regularly so much so I cant clasp my fist - I also drop things alot with no prior warning.
My ANA came back mildly elevated (now its normal) otherwise CRP, sedrate normal
I started my gluten free diet 7 weeks ago and 6 weeks ago my neuro symptoms started- my right knee just felt a little weak, thought nothing of it.. then a few days later my forearms- the tops of them hurt.. ever since x 6 weeks I have had "dead" limbs feeling in the middle of the night - I wake up all night with my arms and one leg feeling as if it is asleep.. They have felt numb since..
Hi there, your question has landed in the MS community, but blood spots under the skin of the knee or sinking in inthevspot(?) isn't typically associated with MS, sorry...
cheers........
my knees get stiff, we thought to fix the knees by surgical replacement it worked for a bit but still have stiffness not sure if it still is a ortho or ms problem anyone out there with these symptoms?
I find this really intersting as well. Am a currently serving member of the CF - been in for 14 years. am on my second carear in the forces my first I was in the infantry for 6 years - deployed to Bosnia,swiss air peggy's cove and then africa. so needless to say along the way i picked up ptsd. so fast forward 9 years and lucky me i get dxed with MS. I came across the case of Dennis Patterson the other day and its got me quite interested.
I think there is a valid point.
In fact the muscle twitching may be due to anxiety that you are experiencing due to the fear of ALS or MS. Please go for an MRI of the spine and pelvic region. Symptoms suggest of a nerve impingement. Nerves may be impinged at different levels causing the symptoms of pain in different regions. The symptoms could be due to peripheral neuropathy, electrolyte imbalance, vitamin deficiency, toxic nerve damage apart from nerve impingement.
