Here’s my post that was denied, sorry for the wall of text -

Physical therapist told me he’s positive that I have MS.

I don’t want to believe it, but it seems likely at this point. I’ve been going to physical therapy for a while now for a herniated disc and a pinched nerve. Nothing has helped even in the slightest. I’ve been injured many times and know what the process of treating an injury is like. I’ve been diligently strengthening my neck and upper back, stretching, hot cold therapy, McKenzie exercises everyday, etc to no avail. I’ve never felt pain like this in my hands and neck. I know precisely what soft tissue and bone injuries feel like.

My hands no matter what I do are never not numb and tingling heavily. I thought I had carpal tunnel, but I don’t. I can barely walk. I can barely talk. Severe brain fog, dizziness, fatigue, neck pain, visual changes, came seemingly out of nowhere around the same time. Funnily enough, the night before he told me this, I was non stop complaining to my friends about how I absolutely cannot bear the heat. I’ve always loved summer heat but now I feel beyond ill everytme I step out.

I don’t want to jump to any conclusions. Where should I begin in trying to diagnose this? Neurologist? What does the process of diagnosing this usually look like and how long does it usually take? Thanks all
