I am new here and have read many of your posts. I am hoping someone can offer their advice about my situation. I started out having a sore spot in the middle of my spine two weeks ago. It only hurt when i pushed on the spot. A week later I noticed numbness in my pinky and ring fingers in my left hand. A few days later the same fingers had a numb feeling on my right hand. The next day, I woke up with numbness in my fourth and fifth toes on both feet. I have no tingling or pain with the numbness. I saw a back specialist and was told I have a degenerative disc but he didn't think that was causing my numbness. My back now hurts worse and small movements feel as if a muscle is pulling and causes me quite a bit of pain. My GP had no idea what is causing my symmetrical numbness so now I am off to get an MRI later this week. I have googled and googled and keep coming back to MS. I have no other symptoms than the ones mentioned. Can anyone tell me what they think based in my symptoms? I would greatly appreciate it!!
