Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hi,

thanks for the brief history. since you mentioned about your spine issues and head injury I feel it's more of a nerve related issue. It won't be MS. as for MS there are different sort 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 about 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 uncontrol 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.
