Get an appointment to see an ophthalmologist. Have them check for optic neuritis. It is one of the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. If if he diagnosis you with it, you may be able to refer you to a neurologist. It's how I got a referral myself. Good luck friend.
They tested me for 2 yrs before they diagnosed it, to see if it got worse or better and what symptoms, your doc should send you for an MRI scan x
3 ways. First mri of brain & spine first on its own then with gadolinium dye to show more of any existing lesions, inflammation scars and new areas of inflammation. Second lumbar puncture for spinal canal fluid test also called spinal tap and third a test where special light is shone into the backs of your eyes. Oh and four, bloods
Hope this helps

@A MyMSTeam Member Hi,I experience my first flare up at the beginning of 2012,which lasted for 7 months.I gradually lost my mobility,my left leg continually 'fizzed' and had bladder and bowel problems.
2 mri's showed lesions on my brain and a lumbar puncture showed more.My Neuro said the symptoms and test results suggested that I have MS didn't want to give me a diagnosis as it was a first attack.Also during this time my mobility and fatigue had improved and life was as normal as it has been and continued until summer 2016 when the symptoms returned.
Five years later I got my diagnosis of PPMS in Oct 2016.The lesions hadn't changed but I had the diagnosis because of the
second relapse.
MRI, spinal tap. Even though an opthalmologist gave me the dx first and set-up the MRI.
