This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

wonderful.. thank you!!! I hate the feeling that happens when I bend my foot, but I guess I'll need to press through..
your information is invaluable!

I must be completely daft at searching the web, because I cannot seem to find any exercises for foot drop (in relation to MS), specifically dorsiflexion exercises. Does anyone know of a website that would help in this area?

I was treated in Seattle, WA by Dr. McGuckin and I would HIGHLY recommend them to people. Wonderful center, you are treated like a person (not just a number). Very competent and they spend time with you answering any questions you may have. The cost is very good compared to other centers as well wit...

where would I find that story?

Thanks! This "second week" increase in pain had me worried. My doc (I finally got ahold of him) said it was probably just inflammation still, as everything looked great during and after procedure. It's hard to keep resting.. esp. when the procedure first time around I had NO pain. So now I...

I went to my local ER. Funny though, the doc I saw said "uh. I have no experience with jugular veins.. so I really don't know what to tell you". He talked with a radiologist and decided to do an ultrasound. The ultrasound showed that the vein was fine and had no tears etc. Didn't show any ...

On no meds post-procedure.. they didn't recommend them as I had no stent. Really reluctant to go into my local hosp. Went in for some issues after my first procedure in May 2010 (can't remember why now) but they basically sent me home and the doctor was NOT happy that I had done the procedure. Is it...

I am 7 days post procedure. The first few days after the procedure my neck was sore on both sides at the collar bone area. But nothing painful, just a little sore and tender, understandably. However, last night (6 days post procedure), I noticed that when I turned my head to the right, it hurt a lot...

I was treated at Euromedic in May 2010.. they said nothing was wrong with my azygous. I was just retreated in WA State in Jan 2011 and was told that my azygous was 80% blocked. Makes one go hmmmm.

I have noticed over the past few months that on the rare occasion, it feels as though I have fluid in my lung(s). Once I noticed it during a time when I had a sore throat, and I thought I was going to get bronchitis, but it never materialized. Since then, maybe every few weeks, I would noticed when ...

LR1234 .. RRMS .. just diagnosed last year but probably have had it for 15 - 20 years. I only started having debilitating symptoms post-diagnosis. Go figure. Also, just tried a 4" inclined bed thingy last night. I didn't notice anything different about my sleep, but maybe that's because my son ...

Frankly I find his post somewhat discouraging .. at least in my case. I`m one that finds new issues post-procedure, but still have at least eliminated my limp. I see stories of so many who have `brand new lives`post-procedure, and hoped that for myself, but it doesn`t seem to be that way for me, at ...

Thank you Erika for your helpful response. I could get a doppler (If I paid hundreds of dollars) to get rechecked at False Creek Surgical Centre, but I just don't have the money right now. And, I'm not sure the doppler really is accurate. For example, just prior to my procedure Dr. Simka said my dop...

So Esta, you must have had a stent placement?

Yes, I think it caused me to feel dizzy and lightheaded.. because now that I'm off the heparin.. that symptom has disappeared.
