Does it ever!! Dont listen to neuros say otherwise or pain doctors diagnosing you with Fibro ect.. like me cause they beleive MS does not create bad pain. I hate this disease more for the bias it creates. My leg pain started as spasms in my left calf and 2 years ago then it went away only to come back with a vengence and up my thigh and now in my right leg and now MS hugs...BUT I need to be tested for other stuff to "make sure" drives me nuts. The pain is so knawing and burning..like really bad growing pains. My husband sits on my legs and it gives me relief..really! painful legs and a 200lb man sits on them full weight and  my eyes roll back in my head and it gives me some relief. Sort of like pressing your finger against your cheek for a tooth ache..sweet agony. I take 25mcg of fentanyl, 450 lyrica, 150 amitriptiline, 2x 1 mg of clonazapan and today got the go ahead to add another patch for now 50mcg of fentanyl and I slept for 4 hours straight. Still pain but took the edge off. My arms and hands are bad too. I am going to a new MS clinic in Toronto - Sunnybrook. I am no longer going to MS clinic in St. Michaels..archaeic. The MD, Dr. Gray confirmed MS only to have me do another test to "see more" and his young radiologist said NO but comments on my cat scan that I had unremarkable gobladder...I have NO gobladder..it was taken out at their hospital. So I have some lesions but not enough?? half say yes, half say no..what is it about MRI?? It is not the only thing used. I have lesions on my spine why did they not check that and make me suffer?? Horrible clinic to treat people that way...aww you have some lesions but not enough.   Anyway..off topic. I have horrible pain and have internal spasms..everything else ruled out so spasticity is what it is..since lesions on my spine my legs and arms suffer badly. Pain is my top one along with cognitive and memory..forget what I am saying ect and fatigue. If I miss even ONE dose I suffer for days. Hope some of this helps. I look forward to a good sleep hopefully tonite that is when the pain is the worse in my legs and arms....anyone know why?? thanks so much
