Q: Are these symptoms of MS?
asked by: DoctorQuestion on October 20th, 2006
I was wondering if you would know anything about a rubbery feeling lump on the nape of my neck and it only protrudes out if I bend my head backwards. It feels as if it is connected to my spinal cord. Also, I have symptoms of headaches, right side of body tingles, blurry vision, hearing loss, eye pain, problems getting my words out when I know what i want to say to people. Are these signs of MS and would they have anything to do with the lump ?

thanks,
Stacey

Multiple sclerosis can manifest with many different symptoms (including yours) depending upon the location of the brain lesions. MS can be confirmed with a CT-scan of the head and an examination of the cerebrospinal liquid derived from lumbar punition. You can visit a neurologist, ophthalmologist and ENT-specialist for full-spectrum examinations. It doesn’t seem likely that your symptoms are related to that lump on your nape. The lump can be examined by a general surgeon.
