Hi salo558,

I'm sorry to hear about your pain. Here's a few links that I hope will help you describe your pain to your doctor. (And, it's not uncommon for more than one word to apply.) http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topi.../describe.aspx

Here's a link to the National MS Society about pain in MS (causes/ treatments): http://www.nationalmssociety.org/abo...ain/index.aspx

I hope your doctor can figure what is causing your pain, so that it can be effectively treated. It's miserable to be in pain.

Best of luck ,

The pain is muscular dr doesn't. Want to give me another med besides lyrica he says lyrica is for pain, lyrica has helped me in the burning sensation but not in the other pain any suggestions?

re pain right leg

I feel your pain. I also have pain on my right leg. My leg looks sunken down the middle right next to the bone. I can't take narcotics as I get too sick and I am also still working. I have tried several different medications and none have worked for it. I take Baclofen and Zanaflex several times a day for spasticity as well as Trileptal for nerve pain.
What does your pain feel like? I know it's hard to describe.

I have tried two old drugs.
They were Amitryptiline, and Nortriptyline.
Both worked, but caused weight gain.
They are old and generic, so very cheap.
Lyrica made me gain weight, too.
