Pain related to MS? - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

Hi. I haven't been diagnosed yet. I had a brain MRI about 4 years ago. That came back negative. I didn't know you could find it in the spine, too. I'm making an appointment to see my new doctor and have this done to rule it out completely. All I know is I hurt. There is one specific pain I get that comes in spurts. It starts a little lower than my shoulders and shoots forward into my breasts. It really does hurt alot. Does anyone else get this pain? My doctors have not been able to find the answer. I feel it may be one more reason for me to secure that doctor's appointment.

God Bless!

Sorry to hear about you being in pain.

I always have pain. But it's more pins and needles, muscle spasms, or it's like my skin is sunburnt-even though I haven't been in the sun. Also, I have lost sensation in parts of my body, and if you touch them, I jerk back and react as though it's going to hurt, even though there is no sensation there. My Neuro had a name for it, but with all the medical jargon I hear, it's hard to keep it all straight! ~lol~

Have they checked your heart? I mean are they at least checking every possibility..not just MS?

Take care and I hope you are better soon!

Thanks! Dazee2100. I have alot of the other symptoms as well, like the crawling under the skin, electric jolts, staggered walk and a blank look on my face because I'm not remembering the conversation too well. I have a hard time coming up with words I KNOW I know. I'm simply going to ask the doctor to find out what's up. I'm thinking of keeping a journal of my symptoms for about 30 days and see what I come up with. It certainly can't hurt to be prepared.

Hey, while we're at it, can do lesions hurt?

Have a good one!
