[|AI|]  Hi, thanks for the brief history. Since you mentioned your spine issues and head injury I feel its more of a nerve related issue. It won't be MS. as for MS there are different sorts of symptoms and much more to into for. Also, you will be under medication by the physician which are doing their job. What I need from your side is to think about the physical therapy. Many cases with what you mentioned spine issue I have seen with the similar symptoms. With a regular physical therapy, medication, meditation, etc. they are helped. Getting strength in the muscles during the pain and little control muscles is tough but not impossible. Kindly discuss with the Neurologist, how about doing physical therapy, and I am sure he will guide you for one, and you will be helped along with the medication as well. With the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery.
