I've had osteoarthritis for years but it's not so much muscle pain as joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and sometimes redness of the joints that are hurting.

So far I've been taking 4 aspirin a day, and that does help. But one finger has permanently limited mobility and the others are somewhat deformed. Elbows are a problem too. The arthritis is also in my spine, and I have quite a few back pain problems--pain episodes, sciatica. I get leg cramps at night sometimes but those seem to be connected to a low potassium level or maybe spasticity due to MS.

10paindaily, the small fiber peripheral neuropathy is a different problem, and your pain sounds quite different from mine. I notice that you say in another thread that you don't have diabetes but have you been tested recently for it?
