I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.

You as in the headline of your question treatment for multiple sclerosis but from what I understand that diagnosis hasn't been made by the doctors. Some symptoms such as numbness and tingling (not swelling) can be related to multiple sclerosis, but they are not specific signs, can be encountered in many other conditions, even in anxiety.
If multiple sclerosis is suspected the proper way to prove that is by making MRI which is a highly sensitive test for the disease. Only if MRI proves the diagnosis can treatment options be discussed, if that will be the case me or my colleagues will be here to answer to you again.

Hoping to hear from you soon.
