weakness

ghost39

Today my right arm felt so so weak. I felt like it was just hanging there. My handbag was too heavy to carry!!! My arm felt sort of sore and numb, but it wasn't numb, if that makes any sense. Anyone else experienced this? Neurologists provisional diagnosis is MS, waiting to have a brain scan and VEP tests.

Makes sense to me! I have numbness in my limbs on and off but not my whole arm. I'm experiencing tremendous back pain, not sure why?
Often my left arm feels "heavy" and weak. Hang in there, friend!
