Is there a link between foraminal narrowing and multiple sclerosis?

No, foraminal narrowing and MS are not related, although they can produce the same symptoms. Foraminal narrowing is a condition in which there is narrowing of the spinal column, causing compression of the vertebrae and the nerves which protrude from them. Symptoms can sometimes mimic MS, with numbness and tingling in the extremeties. MS is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks nerve cells, leaving behind scars (or scleroses). These areas of "demyelination" transmit signals less efficiently than normal, causing many varied symptoms, depending on the location of the actual demyelination. Thus, "Multiple Sclerosis" means "many scars."

Do you get tingling post caesarean epidural after several days?

It has been over three months since my wife's C-section, and she's now experiencing tingling in different places over her body, the same tingling you might get if your leg fell asleep. First I'd thought.. maybe she has poor circulation, needs to work on cardio, have a more balanced diet, etc., but then I remembered the epidural she'd taken months before. I wonder if the drug can lie dormant in the spine and escape, causing numbness afterward.
