Brisk reflexes all over ?? MS??

[Steph1234567]

Hi everyone , I had a check up at my neuro following up from when I originally saw him 6 months ago. All my neuro symptoms started after the flu shot . My current symptons are pain in neck , pain in lower back of head , inner vibes in back of head , feeling of a electric current going through me , pain in legs , and sore side and in back ?? My Mri has been clear , ssep normal , emg normal , NCs normal and bloodwork all normal . He wants me back in 6 months or 1 year depending on how I ferl . I have brisk reflexes all over but I am young he said and anxious . What does that mean in terms of reflexes ?? Does this story relate to any one else with ms ? Thanks

Hi everyone thanks for feedback ... No I haven't seen in a chiropractor . Maybe I should go get tested for Lyme ? I'm still just wondering if I'm still having crazy reaction to flu shot ! Current symtpkns bottom of left foot weird sensations that come and go and left leg burns and hurts . Back of lower head sore and neck so sore . Weird inner tremor almost when I am on toilet or standing up . Not sure if related to neck injury and new symtp happened yesterday left small part of cheek buzzed on and off for a few hours and hasn't happened again since ??? Ms ? Or just healinf still ? Any thoughts

Hi there Steph,

Everything the community explained prior about MS is still exactly the same, it is highly unlikely what you are experiencing now, could have anything to do with a neurological condition like MS when only a few months ago, all your neurological related testings were clinically normal.

You have stated in your posting history of having health anxiety, which may have some baring on what you experience but i suggest you discuss with your GP what 'else' could cause these symptoms if it's not a neurological causation and what tests you should get to investigate his/her alternative ideas...  

Cheers............JJ

Hi Ess. thank you for getting back to me. He never mentioned MS to me but i did as it crosses my mind, he said i shouldnt be too anxious about it, but its hard not to be. I read somewhere that SSEP tests are very good at picking up any thing abnormal and mine was all normal. hard to stay positive when your not feeling good i suppose!

Hi. With MS, it's virtually impossible to have any symptom or reaction 'all over.' That's because every abnormality caused by MS stems from a lesion in the central nervous system. No one has so many lesions so evenly distributed that the same thing happens everywhere.

The MRI is currently the best tool for identifying lesions, but it's not perfect. Any doctor who claims that MRIs rule in/rule out MS is plain wrong (and is highly unlikely to be an MS specialist). The clinical exam findings, together with other tests including MRI, will tell good doctors what they need to know. Sometimes they must conclude that MS is possible or probable, in which case only time will tell.

From all you've written, it doesn't sound to me as if you have MS, though of course I'm not a doctor.
