Neuropathic pain advice please

I'm looking for advice regarding neuropathic pain and various drug options. The pain in my legs is driving me crazy but I am loathe to take drugs with a myriad of side effects. Are there any reasonable options or is it trial and error?

Neuropathic pain

Hi everyone, I've been on pregabalin for a couple of months now, and it hasn't really helped the constant pain in my legs, but they kept raising the dose on me. I got to 150mg twice a day, and felt like it was sort of dulling the pain some, but it came with some pretty bad side effects and left me ...

Tired of pain, just tired

I'm spastic out the wazoo, and I have a headache that won't quit. I've had it a year but it's really pushing my limits tonight. My doctors don't care about my pain, and all they care about is that I don't try to kill myself again on their watch, but they won't do anything but have social workers cal...

Neuropathic pain - letting off steam!

Ooh I’m getting very grumpy with my right foot 😤 a relapse between diagnosis and starting DMD is a little bit tiresome as is trying to find ways to explain what it feels like to MS team and family. So it’s been around 3 weeks. It feels like someone is constantly twisting my foot, as if I’ve been we...

Bone pain.

I have no clue if others feel this. When I wake in the morning, the first steps are not pleasant. Maybe it's the cold that brings out this pain, but it continues most of the time. It fels like I have broken bones when I walk. Does anyone feel the same?

Now should we push her to get up and use them as we have been told “use it or lose it”. She complains of pains in the legs and they are especially painful the next day if we do p...

Severe head pain in specific area

Dear All, I would like some reassurance that the head pain I have is normal, well at least normal for us MS-ers. I saw my neurologist on Thursday. When I told her about this head pain, which causes me to groan out loud it's so intense, she said everyone has those darts of pain (and when it's not a ...
