Hello Synnove and welcome to the MS forum.

At one time MS was known as a "young person's" Disease, affecting those between the ages of 20 and 40. This is no longer the case. Those of all ages can have MS, the very young (Pediatric) and those over 40.

Have you had any MRIs done on your neck or back? Mechanical problems with the back such as a bulging disc which is compromising the spinal cord can cause Neurological symptoms. MS can also affect the spinal cord.
