I am 34 year old female who has no health
problems to speak of. Three days ago my
left leg started to feel weak and heavy.
Later that same day, I started to notice
cold areas on both legs and feet, like
someone is pressing a cold can of cola
against my skin. I contacted my pcm and
was told to take 800mg ibuprofin for a few
days to see if maybe my muscle was
inflammed. I have been doing this for 2
days now with no noticeable difference.
There is no pain.

I kind of know what you are talking about.
I actually have weakness and heaviness
in both of my legs. There is no pain,
just a really hard to describle weakness
in my legs. Doctors think i'm crazy and
don't know what to tell me. I wish I
knew what was causing it!

I have had many mri's and even an eeg
since I posted that first comment and it
turns out I may possibly have multiple
sclerosis. The doctors can't tell me
anything for sure right now, but I just
wanted you to know that you aren't crazy.
Go see a neurologist and make sure he or
she takes you seriously.

I've actually been checked for ms with
many mris...Came back negative. I have 1
single lesion on my brain but that was
found in 2003 and it hasn't gotten bigger
nor are there any more since then...I'm
still undiagnosed!

Well, from the research i've done ms can
remain undiagnosed for years although the
fact that you haven't had any more lesions
than just that one is a good thing and
probably suggests you don't have ms but
i'm no doctor. I have 17 lesions, but
they haven't done a second brain mri so I
don't know if they've gotten bigger or
more have shown up since then. I wish
you the best and hope you find a doctor
that you feel good about.
