For the past few days a couple of my fingers and side of my right hand plus a few of the fingers on my left hand all feel weird. They feel tight, and touching anything the object feels different cold makes them hurt. Best explanation I have for how they feel is if your hands are really dry they get that right feeling. I know they aren’t dry so I’m concerned. I’ve been under a good amount of stress lately so I’m sure it’s a relapse. Doctor thinks that’s what’s causing it. Has any one experienced this before?

As you know, we aren't doctors here, but it somewhat sounds like spasticity, which is muscles contracting and relaxing. There's allot of info at MSAA. mymsaa.org/?cx=006069380093... Definitely should be reported to your doctor.
I can't say that I've ever had quite that feeling, but I often feel as if there is something between my toes, and it feels like some kind of lint. Of course I go searching for toe lint and don't find any. It drives me nuts. Maybe it's all got to do with the brain sending signals down neurons that don't carry them properly and report back weird signals. This disease has so many symptoms that I think I'm beginning to attribute things to it that it may not even be causing.
I feel that same way about different things that happen. Wondering if it’s the disease or something else. That’s why I messsged the doctor.
My fingers have been going numb first the right hand and now the left. Very strange. Any thoughts?
What medication are you on for your MS?
Ocrevis
My neurologist has referred to numbness, tightness, tingling, and extreme sensitivity in my left hand (only two fingers) as neuropathy. Neurontin has helped ease these sensations (often painful).
Yes it’s new. I did email them. Nurse emailed back asking if I had new stressors, any new Illness, or lack of sleep. It seems to be getting a little better.
Many thanks
Lois this is what happened to me on my second major exacerbation and I must say it’s the weirdest feeling ever.
It’s worse at night or when I’m working in out of cold. Or using my hands to much.
I am very sorry you are going through this. My hands are so numb and spastic I cannot hold silverware anymore. They also feel big, even though they have no swelling. I
Will send you happy thoughts. Love, Kelly xx

I'm taking Baclofen for Spasticity. Just sent a message to dr's office requesting help as my toes feel as though there are wires pulling them straight and then curls them tightly over one another. Been going on for a week. MS and getting older is not for Sissies.
I know the balls of my feet are numb and never recovered, I also get the leg spasms in bed. I’m so glad to be on here. The MSAA has been a great help to me. I just did a fundraiser for them and raised $665. I applied for a cooling vest since I live in Florida and I got one. It’s so helpful.
Not sure but like others stay positive and write details daily if possible. I have numbness and tingle with cervical issues and depending on the location on brain or spine can effect arms and fingers. I have primary so I use to think it was relapse. Pay attention but hopeful you catch it and find answers. Worry is natural but stay aware and positive 🤔
