Electric shock pains
Has anyone got any tips for electric shock type pains? I went to MS nurse who said they were struggling as their only nurse prescriber had retired. They couldn’t see my neurologist for two weeks so advised me to go to my GP for advice. I went to my GP who told me it’s specialist medication and needs to be prescribed by MS nurse/consultant.
After going back and forth, I finally got some pregabalin. It definitely helps during the day but the night times are really bad. I feel the pains everywhere. My fingers, toes, back of neck up to my ear, arms and legs! It’s totally exhausting!
I’ve had to take some time off work and I’m just hoping that it’s particularly bad at the moment and things will settle. I’m so tired. I don’t even think tired is the right word anymore. I’m beyond that. I would just like a pain free night and for some good sleep.
If anyone has experienced the same I’d love to know if you have any tips please. Anything at all to help!!
Thankyou x
Yes😖😵💫
As stupid as it sounds when I get electric shock pains I lay flat on my bed and I like put my body out like spread it out, put my palms up and I just slowly open and shut them. It's going to hurt but for me kind of eases it. I know that sounds like very terrible advice but has helped slightly in the past. Also for me having like minimal things touching that helps with it. And heat has helped me in the past as well. Like a heating pad. My neurologist recommended for multiple sclerosis paying even electric shock pains to eat edibles like marijuana infused. If you go to a dispensary they should help you. If you do take that route I do recommend getting a medical card for it. I'm sorry if this is not the advice you wanted to hear anything and kind of help in some situations
