New Here - Urinary Problems Again

[PopeyGod]

First off I know I am new here and I don't want to annoy anybody by posting so many new posts but this is the only place I can get any reassurance...I am having urinary problems again, They had went away for a couple of weeks but today I think they are back...By urinary problems I mean, slow starting, and a burning pain in my penis..I have not heard anyone talk about these types of problems with BFS...I do know it is a MS symptom..Also I just can't work out anymore. I tried again today with some leg squats. I did no more than I did sunday in fact it was even less wieght. After I was done my legs felt like I had ran a marathon and my feet are hurting.. If you have read any of my previous posts, I said I was starting back 2 to 3 days a week with some light weight lifting about 3 weeks ago...It made me fell great, better than I had I felt in some time..But this week I have been GETTING WEAKER AND WEAKER and the pain is just getting worse. I had 4 days between work outs, this just doesn't make since I did not have this weakness or pain doing the exact same things last week in the gym.......Ofcourse this makes me think of MS...Let me say I have had MRI's of the head, neck and thorasic and all came back just fine...But I can't help think I am the 5% that has MS and doesn't show lesions..I have not seen a neuro.I am 28 years old, I am not the same person i was 2 years ago. This is taking a toll on me...No one takes me seriously, My girlfriend thinks this is all anxiety and gets upset with me when I get worried over this..Her basic tone is "get over it"..I just want to get back to the way I was 2 years ago.. I don't care if I ever workout again. I just want to feel good again and not have to worry anymore. The anxiety I feel is BECAUSE OF THIS CRAP. If all this would go away I would fell as if I won the lottery. I know about fibromyalgia, I know the symptoms are alike MS in alot of ways . It would be better than having MS, but I don't want Fibromyalgia either. I just want to go back to normal and I don't thing it ever will..I know all of you feel the same in some way.Another question I have read on here that twitching is not a symptom of MS. But I have not visited one web site that does not list twitching as a symptom.. What gives...

Hi Joe,Once or twice in the five weeks since my symptoms have arisen I have exerienced the "burning" feeling that you spoke of but with a clear MRI and lack of other presenting signs or symptoms it seems my doctors are not giving much thought to MS and it with you having clear MRI's as well that is a great sign for you as well. Do you have any further testing or such lined up in the future ? I can also relate to the excercise aspect of what you were talking about as well. I have not gone to the gym since two days before this all started and I am fairly confident that with my current situation if I was to go that I would not be able to do anywhere near what I would normally expect, although I am planning after my EMG next week to ask my neuro if I could at least attempt a light excercise program for the time being until we get a better idea what is going on with me. My hope is that it will either help with my symptoms some or maybe give some further clues as to what my ubderlying problem is. Best of luck to you and if I can be of any help feel free to get in touch.Mike

Joe, I can totally relate to what your going through, sounds like we have alot of the same problems, working out is almost a distant memory for me, and I was hard core lifting weights, I have a full gym at my house gathering cobb webs. I have had the burning feeling you describe, but it was only for a couple of weeks about 6 months ago, I did not think much of it as I have not researched MS all that much. BFS can defintley cause the symptoms you are describing as well as the frustration that goes along with it. The clean MRI is a strong indication that you do not have MS, but if you are still concerned, go see a Neurologist to totally rule it out, your symptoms may not go away, but at least you will know it is no MS, but our good old friend BFS,
