pin prick test - numbness - bilateral?
 

hello,
I have a question about the pin prick test. My right side is numb I guess. I could not feel the intense sharpness a pin would generally cause. From my face to my toes.

I used to get numb tingling areas in the midsection of my torso on the right side front and back. I couldn't feel anything.

I am just curious about all of this because I have a lot of loss of sensitivity on my right side head to toe. On my left side I have some slight loss of sensitivity but not in all areas.

The doctor started on my left side and I could feel the sharpness but one he crossed mid line it just felt like he was poking me with a dull pencil.

It that typical for MS? It is not JUST my leg or JUST my arm.

Oh and my bladder and bowel issues are FINALLY being addressed!! thankgoodness......................:)

Ok found my own answer. Yes it is normal to have one side totally different than the other in MS. My left leg is starting to have some problems :mad: but most of my left side is still fairly normal.
What I wondered and maybe didn't ask very well was does MS affect only one limb at a time or can it be one whole side or the other. I probably should have already known this.
