need help please!!

I would like to know if anyone out there has any symptoms of toe curling (not painful ) or no knee reflexes? I have been all over the Internet looking for information about these subjects. I'm pretty sure I have MS but I can't get diagnosised I recently had blood work and a MRI but only of the brain and upper spine not Lower spine were the pain is ...I know go figure that one out. doctor tried to said I just had low potassium. but when i asked about the toe curling, and absent reflexes, she said go see a neur- but that I had no MS...which amazed me because I found out 20% of MS patients have NO leisions on the spine or brain. thank you for any information any one can give me. thanks

Re: need help please!!

Hi, I am not diagnosed but am "probable", when your toe curls is it due to a spasm? Does it happen frequently? I spasm and get toe cramps on a daily base and so my toes do weird things all the time and my reflexes are hyper sensitive. Ask my husband, I accidently knocked a glass out of his hand when I was stretching my leg and then lost control of it. Good luck to you, I hope that you find out what is causing this
Take care
Tasia

Re: need help please!!

I do have MS, dx'd 12/04 most of my problems are on my right side, my arm is numb from the shoulder to the fingertips, and probably will stay that way for ever. Now my toes on the right foot, sometimes the little toe curls under and my PCP said that it is not curling, but then why is my nail touching the floor?
My toe was curled under for about 2 months, and then it stopped, and who knows why?

When I get pedicures, and she is working on my right foot, it takes off all on it's own, I am afraid that my foot is going to smack her in the face, it just jerks all by itself and that is embarrrassing

There are alot of little symptoms that occur with MS patients, and they come and go, and this board lets MS patients and those un dx'd share these symptoms with each other and it helps to make you feel like you are not alone. At least that is what helps me

Re: need help please!!

I have had M.S. since 3/87, I still work full time but walking is difficult because of my toes curling under. Barefoot is not bad but shoes and socks are terrible.

My Dr. said it is absolutly M.S. she put me on Baclofin but I am getting off of it because it causes weak muscles and I cannot handle that.

I have been searching the internet and asking people who also have M.S. what they do.

Your post is very timely since I just sat down to search the net again rearding this subject. Hit me back if you find anything that helps.
