What Causes Severe Pain On Legs And Hips?
Question: MY LEGS ARE GETTING TO WHERE THEY DON'T WORK I HAVE SEVERE PAIN IN MY LEGS AND HIPS I AM WANTING TO SEE IF I HAVE EARLY M.S.
Brief Answer:
These are not the symptoms of MS
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand the concern raised by you.
From the available description it does not appear that you are developing M.S or multiple sclerosis.
First thing against the MS in your case is your age. MS generally appears in 20-40 year age groups and it is extremely rare at your age.
Secondly the severe pain in legs and hips can be explained on the basis of presence of Fibromyalgia.
Thirdly there is chance that you are developing diabetic neuropathy because of presence of diabetes. Diabetic Neuropathy is common in those who have history of Diabetes for 10 or more years.
I advice you to get MRI brain to confirm that there are no brain lesions suggestive of MS. In case you got it already please attach with follow up query so I can see and confirm you that there is no possibility of MS lesion in the brain.
'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".
Thanks
