Numbness and Swelling

[jen673]

At night my hands are numb the entire night and itchy and burn.   By morning they are swollen.  My hands are still swollen, tingling and numb after getting up.  It has gotten worse each day - today's day 3.  This morning my knee abs elbow joints hurt.  I am wondering if this my MS or something else going on?  Have any of you experienced this?  

Any input would be appreciated!

Thanks, Jen

Thanks Ren.  I'm not taking any meds currently other than my Copaxone.  I will go see my Dr Mon if I still feel this way.   Hopefully I will get some answers.  I haven't had the best luck with my GP because they seem clueless about MS.

I would venture to guess that is unrelated to MS unless it is an allergic reaction to one of your meds. Any new meds you have tried recently?

It sounds more rheumotological to me or an allergic reaction.

Sorry I don't have the entire answer but do call your doctor on Monday, if not sooner with worsening, and let them know what is going on.

Best,
Ren
