My legs are usually tight and sore but today I woke up and my arms are sore too. It's gotten worse as this day progresses. Feels like I did heaving weight lifting last night. I did nothing last night... Has anyone experienced this? Maybe it's my entire body :( my back is hurting too. I'm usually pretty healthy. No real symptoms besides numbness and tightness in my legs.

That is exactly what happened to me. Next thing was a lose of fine touch motor skills and then some. Again, I hope it isn't but, please look for a professional help if it doesn't start getting better. I had a new lesson in my neck and since I waited too long it got really bad and I never fully recovered. Don't mean to scare you, just to give you heads up. Please, take care

Oh yeah, this happens to me a lot. Sit down and relax it should relieve the symptoms for a time. Having been diagnosed 10 yrs. Ago I have learned my limits of activity. Which is very hard for me because I have to keep busy. I do things in 1/2 hour increments, resting for 15 mind or.so in between.

My arms and hands are starting to act "Dumb" and I too have the thing when I am saying something and another thing comes out... Had a stroke last year with same symptoms ends up they think it was a migraine which caused stroke and that migraine may be still causing these symptoms... lookup complicated migraine... Also might be new symptoms of the MS your doctor might treat you with steroids... Definately call your Neuro. Good luck.

I have pain in my legs and in my arms as well, It started out only in my right leg for a while but is now effecting all my limbs. I get very "stiff" sitting for a period of time and even walking for a while. I have tried muscle relaxers but they do nothing for the pain. Hope you start to feel better
