re: Scared to death of my likely diagnosis

Constant Burning/tingling/numbness on my right leg for the past 3 weeks.

No doctor here, and I only offer anecdotal evidence that is by no means a diagnosis. I have suffered from sciatica from time to time due to a back injury sustained when I was in my late twenties. The symptoms you describe sound extremely similar. I would imagine that your physician has already ruled this out, but I thought I would offer something hopeful in the event that he or she hasn't.

Here's a link from Mayo Clinic describing the symptoms of sciatica.

Sciatica, Symptoms and Causes - MAYO CLINIC

Apart from that, I offer my thoughts and prayers. I know it's distressing to think of the possibility of such a diagnosis. Stay strong, my friend. As others have mentioned, the treatments for MS that have recently been developed are lightyears ahead of where we once were.
