Hello all,
diagnosed with RRMS recently and have been on Gilenya for approx one month with nil side effects. What led to my diagnosis was severe thigh pain (burning/pins & needs/electric shocks). I dealt with the pain for 3 months, was treated with IV steroids for 3 days and another 3 months have passed.
Every day I am still struggling with burning pain, it is constantly there and a distraction in life. I also have atrophy in my right leg.
I know that at some point this will be permanent nerve pain, if not already. Has anyone ever had nerve pain subside after a lengthy period of time? Just wanted to see if there's any hope. I've also been prescribed lyrica. Was hesitant to take it due to the side affects but have been taking 25mg twice a day that has not provided any relief
