Hi Desinie:
Your neuro's indifference must be really frustrating.
Two years ago I experienced a similar symptom, a burning pain on my spine right beneath my bra strap. The spot wasn't much bigger than a toonie. Over the weeks it came and went until finally it hurt enough that I could not sit, stand or lie down comfortably. Several months later I woke with numbness, more pain covering my left side. My urinary retention worsened and my bowels became incontinent.
My doctors attitude was "wait and see" since I could walk.
I don't have an MS dx because I don't have lesions. However I have been left I have been left with permanent bowel incontinence.
In hindsight I wish I'd had an MRI at that time too. Sound like your neuro should be paying a little more attention. If you do start to have bowel or bladder problems as a result of this pain make sure you get in ASAP. The consequences of a 'wait and see' approach is not pleasant.
Best wishes Desinie. Hope it clears up soon.
