Foot drop and 6th nerve palsy question
 

Has anyone gotten a foot drop and/or 6th nerve palsy (where eye no longer turns outward) because of MS.

I went to my eye doctor after getting numerous tests that is showing I have the beginning of MS because my Myelin was elevated to a 5 and he said there is no way MS would cause 6th nerve palsy on the eye.

He is not a nuero eye doctor. I also found many articles of patients that have 6th nerve palsy and after testing and research the #1 cause is MS.

Well I have both. Foot drop in 2005 with no reason at all. Then this year got the 6th nerve palsy on left eye.

Thanks

I've never heard of 6th nerve palsy, but foot drop is very common with MS.
