I thougth that too Tootsie. That's why I didn't run to the doctor for the first week or more. I have a spine doctor now and MRI's of C & L spine, and the only area that has varifiable issues is my L-spine. Totally unrelated to anything I experienced. Definately have to work on fixing this problem, and in PT for that. All the doc's say it was not a pinched nerve. Thta's why MS became an issue.

That would seem to be the conclussion huh? My tests will not support a dx tho.

I do want to thank everyone for posting their experience here....it shows how very different it is for each person. I did read someone once say they had the same pain in their shoulder blade before going numb in their thumb too (been a while ago). Therapist and PCP are not finding reason to believe that stress caused this....so I'm just a complete mystery.....and until I know for sure, MS will always be in the back of my mind.
