Does this sound like MS to you

Hello ive posted this question in the neurological forum as well but i thought doing it here as well.
been having this problem for a few years now....everytime im having a hot bath or shower
when i get out my knees hurt when i bend them.They just dont feel burning they feel stretched  and sometimes i feel pins and needles..It goes away after a while when my knees are not hot anymore
I had RF test which came back negative for Rheumatoid diseases..I heard that people with MS  also have symptoms after a hot bath...I also have right back stifness and tinglings and pain in leg and lower back(both sides but rigth hurts most) but after a hot bath i ussually feel better..Except in my knees..Does this sound like MS to you...I got refferal from a neuro to another neuro.My first neuro made a neurological exam and reffred me to the other one writing on the form no objective findings!!What does this mean??
I dont know what could be causing this
Is this Neurological?
Should i worry?
Thank you

The pins and needles and the 'stretchy feeling' you describe sounds more like circulation problems to me, but I ain't no doctor!  But I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I have been tested for thyroid disorder(not sure its neurological) but havent got the results back!
My first Neuro kept asking me if i had any neurological disorders in my family if i ever had hit my head etc!I told her no!I dont know why she was asking me this ..Yet she reffered me to another neurologist in the institute of genetics ..I dont know why ,should i worry?Do they ask this things normally?And what does no objective findings mean?
Thank you

I agree with jensequitur,

Anytime I get hot I have to sit or lay down or I will fall down. I use to take hot baths and showers and when everything started that came to a stop. Not I just add enough hot water to take the edge off the cold.

Have you been checked for other neurological dissorders besides reumatoid arthritis?

It actually doesn't sound like MS - if heat makes you feel better overall, it's a sign that you don't have neurological damage.  When I get hot, or take a hot bath, I get fatigued and dizzy, and have to go take a nap.  It usually takes about three hours before I feel better.
