HI All
I know there is alot of pain in the legs with ppms, but is it a normal symptom to have pain in the bone itself in both lower legs
( shin bone itself).

thanks
mike

Although the pain can be bad and may feel like it is in the bone, I have never had any bone pain. If you are definite that the pain is in your bone, you might want to confer with your neurologist and see an orthopedic specialist.

It could very well be nerve pain. I had nerve pain this summer that lasted about 3 months before subsiding. The only relief I got was a heating pad. I tried the cold compresses, but it was to no avail. I placed the heating pad on the area where the pain was the most intense. It helped a great deal.
