[|Human|] I have tingling numbness and burning sensations in my fingers hands and sometimes the bottoms of my feet, and sometimes I have problems focusing my left eye and have difficulty concentrating, it has been suggested that I get tested for MS.  I have had several mini strokes in the past several years and have just recently recovered from having terrible balance issues where I had to use a walker and or a cane for six months.  Any ideas?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for the query, Please note that there are several neurological problems can present in this way. Though it can be MS in your case, other conditions need exclusion. Other conditions that need exclusion are vitamin B12 deficiency, systemic vasculitis, and chronic neuroinfections and so on. Tests which can differentiate between these conditions are mainly MRI Scan of the brain and spine followed later by blood tests for vasculitis, vitamin B12 level and lumbar puncture. You need to consult a local neurologist and get evaluated. Your management will depend upon the cause.
