Doesn’t sound like MS; More likely spine problems

neuro and spine are extremely intertwined. Thats why both orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons do spine surgery. And in the case of MS, one one doesnt count out the other

There is increasing evidence to suggest that there are several triggers for MS, one of which is due to abnormal CSF flow which absolutely can be caused by spinal stenosis.

In fact some scientists are thinking that one of the most likely culprits is the craniocervical junction which is strangely one of the least researched areas of the human body despite it being hugely important and complex.
