neurologists recently suggested i get MRI of my brain after my nerve conduction study of upper and lower extremities came back normal. he suggest CNS damage and MS i have optic nerve damage 90% in left eye and 45-55% in right eye. Im having episode of burning painful redness worse than sun burn on arms and knees. last episode was one month ago. i didnt sleep last night from burning pain in ankles and feet. Skin it also hot to touch. Could this be from MS?
