No. Multiple sclerosis, MS, is an autoimmune affliction wherein the sheath of the nerves in the body is destroyed. The covering, myelin, is over all neurons, and as the disease progresses, the myelin disappears and the operation of the nerves becomes less effective until neuron after neuron fails. Loss of muscle control, sensation, cognition and a number of other aspects of body function continues. It may be a "quality of life issue" but it certainly means decreased mobility and level of function. MS is something we haven't found a cause for. Is it genetic? Does some virus sneak in and "set a person up" for an autoimmune reaction later in life? We don't know. It is doubtful that any back surgery or any number of back surgeries will cause demyelination. Just try to find a causal connection. Not even the sharpest attorney could make a case. No doctor will stand up and say any kind of surgery can cause MS. It just doesn't make medical sense.
