Also, from a personal perspective, a have a friend with MS, and pain is not among her symptoms. She LOOKS like she's in pain, but she says that she is not.

Thanks for responding!

MS does cause pain - for some. Not everyone with MS will have pain but many do, it's called neuropathic pain (nerve pain). I am glad your friend isn't dealing with pain.
