Hello Pickle and welcome to NeuroTalk.

Quote:
have almost constant pain between my shoulder blades and in various joints from elbows to toes and fingers. This comes and goes in different areas almost daily - ie yesterday it was my right big toe and today my left shoulder. The joint pain is like a stiffness accompanied by a very sore sensation like I've just dropped a hammer on the area.
Joint pain, such as you are having, does not fit with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

MS is a disease of the Central Nervous System which includes the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. There is a diagnostic criteria for MS, The McDonald Criteria.

Although abnormal sensations such as tingling and vibrations/buzzing can be part of having MS those symptoms can also be caused by many other conditions, vitamin deficiencies, some medications, and mental health issues. There is no symptom(s) which are unique to MS.

I wonder if your GP hasn't suggest a Rheumatologist rather than a Neurologist
A Rheumatologist was my thought also.

Best wishes and I hope you get answers soon.
