I am now 65. I have really painful leg pain.  It used to be in my right leg, but is currently in my left leg from my ankle up to my thigh, It seemed to start about 15 years ago. I would wake up early in the morning and want to stay in bed until I needed to get up, but the aches were so bad, I had to get out of bed and start moving around. I did had an intense episode of MS which was a numbness from my toes up to my waist, also 15 years ago.  This lasted about 10 days then seemed to disappear.  I had an MRI Scan which indicated MS, but for many years I have had hardly any other symptoms, except for the ache in my right leg which was mostly affected when I drove for more than half an hour, which means I don't often drive further than about 30 mles (I live in the UK) So recently went to see a neurologist for a diagnosis and help. She couldn;t decide whether it was related to my diabetes or the MS. I can't have another MRI Scan as 12 years ago I had a Pacemaker fitted. I also have diabetes II, which in many areas mirrors MS - so was none the wiser. I am convinced that all my aches, especially leg pains, are due to MS, but have yet to find a painkiller that kills the pain.  I know it is spasticity. Anyone with any ideas?
