(Nerve-) pain due to MS

I was wondering if anybody else has ever experienced pain due to MS? During my last flare up I had a very intense and weird ache in my chest, like where my sternum is. I can't really describe what it felt like, that's why I painted it as part of my MS-awareness art project A Thousand Faces, you can ...
