Multiple Sclerosis is a progressive demyelinating disease which affects the motor and sensory neurons. The disease will cause cycles of remission which in turn causes the condition to worsen. Currently the cause of MS is unknown, yet some experts believe that viral infections and autoimmune disease plays a part in Multiple Sclerosis cause.
Multiple Sclerosis sufferers often experience back pain. According to pathophysiology research, the scatters of demyelinization will start affecting the brain as well as the spinal cord. Once it affects these areas degeneration starts targeting the myelin sheath (nerves that insulates the layers of cells) and causes a string of patches of sclerotic tissues. The patches impair the conduction, which reaches the motor nerve impulses.
