Suggestions for pain stiffness????

[MERSEA2]

I have been on Gilenya for 2 weeks and now have severe stiffness in arms and legs combined with a throbbing ache. It is hard to get up or sit down on the couch. I have done yoga stretching, taken Aleve & Celebrex and nothing helps. Any suggestions on what else might help????

What I use for Joint and Muscle Pain is Biofreeze. They have a spray that is very clean to use, not a messy Gel, and works great.

Heat will help relax muscles
Massage can be helpful as well, doesn't have to be done by a professional either!

Definitely continue with stretching, every day
Exercise-even if it's just a little bit
Aqua therapy (swimming) can be a great way to stretch and exercise.
You may want to consider acupuncture, it has helped me

Lastly, if these are significant changes and they become unbearable or concerning, you may want to contact your doctor
