MS pain symptoms come in many forms such as crushing and squeezing pains, including a tightness in the chest known as the 'MS Hug'. It can also feel like an achy stabbing or burning. However it effects you, we understand that pain is an 'invisible' MS symptom that can be incredibly distressing. Use the Shift.ms forum to speak to others who understand what you're going through.

New on this platform and hoping to meet a buddy that shares the pain

I live alone in Cleveland Ohio with my dog, Never married and no kids, I was diagnosed in 2018 and it’s been really sad being alone with no one to comfort me or share my pain with, I often wonder if it’s best I’m alone so no one experiences how fatigued I get or how much pain I’m in when the pain co...

Kesimpta and hip pain

Has anyone noticed joint pain since starting Kesimpta? I started kesimpta in December and since then have experienced really bad hip pain. Is it just a coincidence? Never had it before.

Numbness with a side of pain

It sounds so weird and when I try to explain it to some people, they just look at me confused. To touch, my right leg feels numb and walking on it just feels weird but the pain and burning sensation that is going through my whole leg is just horrible. No point to this post other than neuropathic pai...

Pain Management

Over the past 15 years or so I have taken a host of drugs (ending with ‘in’) without success. Even the last course of lidocaine infusions failed to have the same affect that they originally did. The pain management consultant informed me that the only other way to go was Morphine patches. My GP was...

Pain

Hey everyone, I was diagnosed with MS in December 2024 so I am still new to everything. I have a question when you feel those sharp pains shoot through your body what do you do for the pain? Also, does anyone else experience their feet getting extremely cold?
