I was diagnosed in 2017 and can relate to many symptoms people talk about. Symptoms that concern me are weakness and tightness to my upper body including my arms, trunk and shoulders after walking or movement. In fact my upper body is as weak as my lower body. Can anyone else relate to this.
It makes sense that if muscles are weakened by ms then upper muscles would be affected also, but mainly read about lower limbs. However it’s reassuring that I’m not alone with this.
My right arm gets weaker as the day progresses. Always dropping things and tyeping at work means spell check is a must as my fingers don,t lift up and touch the wrong keys!! No advice apart from rest i’m afraid. But your are not alone
Christine, I have dreadful weakness on all my left hand side. Some sedentary exercise has helped me build up some strength. I now feel my right side beginning to get weaker when I do too much. I have an electric wheelchair now which has given me new freedom and optimism.
