I have has MS for 11 yrs. now. I had never experienced pain before until this June 2010.  It hurts so bad I cant even begin to explain.  Like an idiot I went for hip x-rays, physical therapy on abductor muscle and SI joint.  Dumb me never even put pain with the MS because I had never experienced this from my MS.  After getting shots of morphine weekly and new MRI's showed new lesions on my spinal cord.  Went to research center and was told lesions on spinal cord cause the most symptoms and usually the horrific pain!  I went in and did IV steroids for 3 days end of August.  Felt better in a week.  Prayed it was just maybe a pulled muscle.  Well BAM 2 days ago started hurting again.  When i called nurse she said the steroid only last six weeks. It has been six weeks exactly.  I told her OMG i do not want to be going getting steroids every six weeks.  Going back to research center to see what options are available to stop pain or is the IV steroid the best I can do.  I pray for all of you in this pain.  It is unbearable and wish it would stop.  I guess also like any other symptoms once damage is there guess not going away now.   god bless missest
