Hi Ken; I have had MS for 30 plus years and have just started having a shooting pain that runs from above my ankle to my thigh. It comes quickly and goes just as fast. I can't put weight on the leg when it happens--but, it's over very quickly. Please don't feel this is a precursor to a worsening of the disease !!! So many odd symptons come and go. I am a Peer Support Counselor for MS patients, and, it is such a strange disease, that you never really know what's coming !! Keep stretching and moving as much as possible. I still am doing well, the occassional bad day--but--I feel very strongly that this disease of ours will be cured in the near future !! Positive Attitude is a real Plus !! Take Care !! Polly
