I have optic neuritis...does this mean I have MS?

---

I have been told by my eye doctor that I have optic neuritis. I've head that this is quite often associated with multiple sclerosis. Does this mean that I have MS?
No not at all. There are many people that have experienced Optic Neuritis and are never diagnosed with MS. Relax and don't worry about it stress isn't good for anyone!

I have been diagonsed with this and was told by the neurlogist that it was common in the 80's for people to present with this after getting a flu shot. I had never heard of it and I have been getting flu shots for years!! I am/was such a beliver in them that I even got them for my three children. I certainly will be thinking twice before I do next year!!!!
Brachial plexopathy is pain, decreased movement, or decreased sensation in the arm and shoulder due to a nerve problem.
Another disorder affecting brachial plexus is thoracic outlet syndrome.
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) consists of a group of distinct disorders involving compression at the superior thoracic outlet that affect the brachial plexus (nerves that pass into the arms from the neck), and/or the subclavian artery and vein (blood vessels that pass between the chest and upper extremity).  (+ info)

does anyone else out there suffer from chronic pain related to ulnar neuritis? or anything similar?

have you successfuilly treated the pain?
how long did you have the condition?
im a 21 year old male, ive been dealing with my deteriorating condition for a long time and taking a potshot at wwho out there knows anything helpfull or supportive.
I've been having chiropractic for it for two weeks now. At first it got a lot better, but then came back again, but not as bad as before. Now I don't need to take painkillers all the time. Chiropacto said it was due to a nerve trapped in spine. Says I will need about ten treatments. So far I have had three, so it may improve some more.  (+ info)

Not classically, but have an ophthalmologist check your optic nerve head through a retinascope. Optic neuritis is easy to diagnose that way.He'll also do an intraocular pressure test for glaucoma.  (+ info)
