If aspirin and NSAIDs do nothing for you, I'd wonder about steroids. The big infusions are what MSers get... and those are more effective than the oral types. One can tolerate high dose IV better than high dose oral.
I agree with this. Ibuprofen, naproxen does nothing for my neuropathy or muscle spasm pain. Tylenol even does a little something (don't understand that -maybe Mrs. D knows), but NSAIDS do nothing. Mine is non length dependent and all over my body and head. It is thought to be autoimmune/inflammatory type thing, but they are not sure.
