One side of my body (left) always larger

Maybe like swollen. I took a walk and my leg on left side started dragging. When I got I noticed it even more.

  1. Hi LindaB,

    Thanks for the question and for being a part of our community! One of contributors wrote an article about how her MS sometimes seems to pick certain sides of her body. You can read more about it here: https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/picking-sides/.

    Definitely something to mention to your healthcare team if you haven't already. And, I'd be curious to see if others in the community experience anything similar!

    Best,
