Pain and stiffness

[fig65]

I haven't posted in a loooong time. I am still undx'd and when I get frustrated, will sort of grin and bear it fotr a while. I have a question about the numbness/pain/stiffness assoc. with MS.
When my symptoms first began (they are predominantly one sided), I was having a lot of numbness and needle stabbing type pain. The numbness has eased up (for now) and I more frequently will experience intermittent quck, but intense pain in my toes/bottom of foot and other areas of my leg, left hand, upper chest and back. Muscle stiffness all up and down my left side. Intermittent pain and "weakness" around left knee/ankle and left hand/wrist. I typically feel just fine when I first wake up in the AM, and my symptoms creep up on me as the day goes on. I get fatigued very easily. I also have some noticeable muscle atrophy in my left calf.
The symptoms are so hard to describe, I hope all of this makes sense. I guess my question is, does this sound typical of MS?

I'm not an expert on MS but I do have Fibromyalgia with shooting pains and numbness in my hands/feet. It sounds like something similar. I would go get an MRI just to be safe though.
