Any doctor that says pain does not accompany MS should lose his/her license! The pain in my legs is becoming unbearable even after my pain meds. Just another MS day!

Hello Waydwnsouth1,
I am not sure what "pain pills" you are taking but there are differnt options depending on the type of pain. As an example: if the pain is from spasticity one of the medications used is Baclofen.

I have had the same neuro for 26 years and he has always understood pain is a part of this disease

your right that is a bs statement lol. my doc knows pain comes w/it.
anyway, i get same each night almost. i try to breath thru it, yet yup it's unbearable, it's like i'm giving birth to something thru my legs. actually birthing is easier.
i just went to natural food store, idk if i can post this here, yet the woman said to me for pain take it's called, arnica montana. it's a homeopathic remedy. she said it won't take it away completely, yet it takes the edge off unlike any meds can.
so i will be popping mine tonight to see if it works. she said because it's a homeopathic remedy it'll work w/any med, supplements etc.
so, google it for yourself and maybe you should try. i'm going to google it now.
good luck. i also try and yup insane yet when the pain starts i get up right away and i begin to stretch my legs, i bring my head down as far as i can and stretch the bck part of my legs, doesnt' take it away yet helps somewhat.
good luck, sorry your in such pain. hang in there.Jen Dx'd 5/11

My original neurologist told me that pain was not really a part of MS. Or not that much. He only treats my epilepsy now, and I'm considering finding a new doc for that, because he seems to think its okay if my other docs put me on meds that can cause seizures (every other neuro that I've had it was and absolute no.) But it was when he told me that I shouldn't have much pain that I found an MS specialist.Diagnosis: May, 2008

Doctors tell people that pain isn't a part of MS?! My legs feel like there on fire even after pain drugs.
If my doc told me that it would be the last time I'd see him!Comment
