Hi Rusty!

Welcome! Pain in MS is a very real problem, and I've read that over 50% of people with MS say that it's a problem for them.  For me, I have a hard time distinguishing some of my pain between my MS and other issues. But, when my spasms are full fledged, then I know for sure what is what.  Or, when I feel like there is a stick in my eye, or when my knees won't bend, or when my back is burning.  For some, it's TN, ON, and the other issues with parathesias, which by the way, we have an incredible Health Page on, as well as a great Pain Health Page (upper rt. hand corner).

You sure do bring up an important topic, because when pain is out of our control, our quality of life starts to diminish, and I know others would like to join in on this topic so I'll end just for now and say "HI" and  "WELCOME" and hope to get to know you better. Also, what are you experiencing? When were you diagnosed?

Hope to see you around!

I still don't have a dx, but I ALWAYS have pain somewhere in my body.  It is robbing me of quality sleep.  Got a good doctor?  I wrote down absolutely everything that was bothering me and gave my doctor the list.  Not sure she was impressed, but you gotta try!
Take care and keep coming back!\
