My Leg Pain Was Actually MS | Multiple Sclerosis #Misdiagnosed | Health

I hate how doctors treat you differently when you are young or have a cheap insurance

23 years MS. 72 this year. one of the symptoms I had was someone literally had shoved a huge knife in the front of my leg and was twisting it. the pain was unblearable i wanted to die with it, then my left arm was the same, i had to have ECG to check my heart ok. the pain again like a knife being shoved in my arm. I had this for 2 weeks leg, then arm, then it disappeared like it came. all i can say is keep healthy, keep active you will be ok hun, positive attitudue goes a long way. after 16 years undiagnosed finally i was told i had primary progressive MS. i was told also the doctor wasnt sure it was MS as i was too old for it lol. but PPMS usually starts later in life. ANYWAY GIRL YOUR STRONG, you will be ok. xxx oh i am still mobile sort of lol.

I feel so sorry for this beautiful young lady but the message of hope still peeks through those dark clouds. As someone who was diagnosed with MS less than a year ago and experienced many things mentioned in this video, I find it completely relatable. None the less, there is hope. Everyone battling MS is a warrior and we are in this fight together. Don't give up and don't lose hope. GOD bless. 🙏🏾💛🙏🏾

I felt the same way once my diagnosis was confirmed. 'Ok, now that we know for sure, we can move forward.' The problem with an MS diagnosis, is that there's so much else to rule out first.

I'm going through the Hell you're going through too! MRI's and bloodwork have shown little to no results, yet my neurologist knows something is seriously wrong with me. Now I'm waiting to set up a spinal tap, and hopefully that will finally reveal something. I've been battling this for 7 years full-time (5 of it very painfully), and likely much longer without knowing something was very wrong with me. So many people just don't have any clue as to what we suffer through in so many ways battling with this, and people always saying "oh nothing is wrong with you, you're just getting older!" Any kind of a diagnosis would be such a relief!

Thank you for sharing! I don't relate to many MS stories but I definitely did do this one! I'm a self-employed cleaning lady and I now know that the physical work actually helped keep my muscles strong and I'm probably doing better than I would be otherwise. I started developing symptoms 25 years ago. I also related to how you get tired if you stand for a long time. For me, standing in the same place is worse than moving around. I also thought I had a pinched nerve for a long time. I wanted to share how much a lumber support belt helps to stave off the fatigue when I am on my feet. Shopping is so much easier for me with it!

This is the bad thing with western medicine. They make you have a different doctor for each speciality. They never get together and compare notes.. I miss when one doctor covered most things and only sent you to a specialist when they were stumped.

well I was healed from MS then. I am.73 years old now and still healed from MS when I was 40. When I try it at this age for other ailments it wont work for me ofcourse. I have God who heals me now.. there are always hope

Three years later. I hope you are well and getting the care you deserve. Thank you for posting this.

The very same thing happened to me before I was diagnosed although I am not a dancer. My legs were hurting so bad. They still hurt to this day 26 years later from diagnosis. Stay strong!

I went through the same thing. Just received my diagnosis today. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽

I spoke with a man who treats his MS by eating mounds of veggies. His mentor was once crippled with MS and wheelchair bound. This woman was determined to walk again and did research. She ate "mounds" of leafy veggies and now she runs marathons. God bless you and all you love. God bless us all.

Poor little girl. She suffered way too much before being properly diagnosed! 😢❤

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm waiting for my MRIs. I feel like I'm not being taken very seriously so I'm looking forward to having my MRIs so I can have some kind of idea of what's going on with my body.

My grandfather had this, and auto immune issues run on both sides of my family. Much more awareness is needed! These diseases are tricky to diagnose and hard to handle. They are hereditary, and run in 1 out of 5 families. Most people have heard of some of them, but so many are unheard of. It's like you're fighting a silent enemy! Keep at it, don't give up, all your history dancing will help you, I'm sure- And, when you're able, pay it forward, it can really give you a purpose, believe it or not! :)!

I have the exact same symptoms and steps you had but in my left calf. And now Im just awaiting my appointment for a neurologist. I really thought no one else knew my pain

I’m going through the exact same thing. Stay strong and keep your head up. Thanks for sharing 🙂

I have primary progressive multiple sclerosis for 8 years now and it really really sucks. It's frustrating how little the medical community actually knows about this so it's ironic when they call themselves "specialists" but in the same breath, saying they don't really know what it is. They say the immune system is so strong that it attacks itself and then in the same breath, they say it's an autoimmune disorder where the person's immune system is so vulnerable. So which is it? Too strong or too weak? They don't know what it is and that's the truth. It's a collection of symptoms. A lot of different diseases/conditions mimic MS including black mold and Lyme disease. It's kind of hard to fight back when one of the major symptoms is brain fog and fatigue and depression. Not to mention isolation. Fed up with this. Ppms is like a slow steady toboggan ride to hell. Once an athlete, now I'm not weight-bearing. Slowly turning into a paraplegic. Yay. I find myself asking questions like what will I be like this time next year? This time next year I will be wishing I was in the same health I am now. Like so many others, I had never known anything about Ms and when I was first diagnosed, so many people in my life claim that they "knew people who had MS and with absolutely no symptoms at all" and I have "nothing to worry about at all." Yeah right. It's been the bane of my existence. Gets to the point where I just don't even want to think about it and it's pretty rare that I want to talk about it but I'm watching this video now after my Big 3 hours of "sleep"... so-- kind of topical.

Wow thanks for sharing your journey. I don't have MS but I broke my labrum in my hip 2.5 cm and lost fluid in the joint after giving birth. Suffered in pain for 6 years. All because of gaslighting by my Doctors...getting sent for ultrasounds instead of MRI. My chiropractor was the one who saved me. She pushed me to push back against the doctor one final time to get an MRI at all costs. I finally received treatment and although I'm not 100%... I'm around 90-95% ok. I don't understand why patients have to fight so hard to get diagnosed with things. I hear the stories so often across different diagnoses for various issues. I'm happy that you got some kind of answers, and I hope you can continue dancing. 🙏

Thank you for sharing! Its ashame we have to search for confident doctors AND do research on our own. I was diagnosed Dec 16.. keep up the hard work!
