Does ms cause back pain?
I've been diagnosed with MS, and recently I've started experiencing persistent lower back pain. I'm wondering if this is a symptom of my condition. Does Multiple Sclerosis commonly cause back pain?

Yes, back pain is quite common in MS due to nerve damage and muscle spasms. Gentle physiotherapy under a professional's guidance can bring a lot of relief.

Yes, MS can definitely cause back pain due to muscle stiffness and nerve issues. Sitting with my favorite plate of hot chole bhature becomes so difficult when my lower back starts aching. It's always best to ask your doctor for safe stretching exercises.

Yes, it does cause back pain. For simple relief, using a hot water bag or a supportive orthopedic pillow while sitting works quite well. But if the pain is constant, do consult your neurologist instead of relying only on home remedies.

Yes, this disease can cause a lot of pain in the back and legs. When it hurts too much, rest well and try applying some warm mustard oil gently, but make sure to show it to your doctor in the town hospital.
