ms?

It all started last december when i noticed an odd sensation in my right big toe, thought maybe my shoes were responsible, then i had back pain so visited my gp, suspected slipped disc so did 6 weeks of physio which made symptoms worse . I then got referred for an mri which came back with ? lesion possibly tethered spinal cord syndrome/demylination and syrinx i'm a nurse so i am quite worried, i am awaiting another scan with contrast of head and cervical spine. Other symptoms include: symptoms worsen with heat and baths but are fine when swimming shakey fingers but only sometimes and horrible joint noises in legs when bending down, i also get pins and needles a lot more often than i used to and have a weird sensation round my right eye usually when tired or after a bath my backahes most of the time and my legs can feel weak. At one point i had right sided footdrop but this seems to have self corrected .The numbness in my big toes is now  bilateral is this ms? thanks.

I would say find a neuro, start keeping a timeline and get the tests recommended. Symptoms are definitely worth having them looked at by a MRI specialist IMO
