Had Numbness In Right Hand And Foot. Blurry Vision, Eye Pain, Muscle Weakness And Neck Stiffness

Hi,

I delivered my 3rd baby 9 months ago with my first epidural. Since then, I have had numbness in my right hand and foot, sometimes leg as well as a number of other symptoms that are all associated with the right side of my body: blurry vision, eye pain, muscle weakness, neck stiffness and major headaches, to name a few.

I've seen and optometry dr , primary care doc, and 2 neurologist. They can't figure out what's going on. My MRI conclusion was that I had the beginning signs of MS; though my doctors did not agree.

I'd appreciate any insight or direction as this has been frustrating not getting answers.

Thank you.
