Some common MS symptoms you could be ignoring:

| | Movement problems are a hallmark of MS. Impaired nerve conduction means muscles are not behaving the way they used to. | | | People may report they feel suddenly weak in one limb or they may find objects slipping easily out of their hands. If theres damage to the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls balance, people might also be unsteady on their feet and prone to falling. | | | | | Spasticity can involve both stiffness as well as involuntary muscle contractions. As a symptom of MS, its most common in the legs and may manifest as a mild feeling of tightness in the muscles or as more severe pain. | | | In extreme cases, spasticity can cause a
persons body to become distorted and twisted, almost as if there folded up like a pretzel. The symptom often goes hand-in-hand with weakness of the limbs or other parts of the body. | | | | Like numbness, vision problems are one of the most common early symptoms prompting a person to visit the doctor. The problem can manifest as double vision, eye pain, blurred vision, or a scotoma (it looks like a hole in your vision). | | | These symptoms usually result from optic neuritis or inflammation of the optic nerve. Although vision problems can interfere with working and driving, they do tend to resolve on their own. | |
