feel a tingling in both my feet and hands,
this now has become stronger and at times
i get pins and needles and a stiffness in
them. a few times i have had avery hot
feeling in my legs. what do you think is
going on. could this be the start of
ms<br>
Multiple sclerosis can start in many ways
depending from where the locations of
brain lesions are. Symptoms you had
mentioned could be signs of MS but they
can be signs of some other diseases that
are more common and usual then MS. For
example, one of the most common
degenerative diseases of the vertebral
column, SPONDILOSIS, can cause similar
symptoms. I recommend you to make an X-ray
image of the vertebral column first.
Examination by a neurologist will be also
needed.
