Hi Dixie - and welcome to Neurotalk!

I have been having BIG issues with joint pain - in my hands, arms, legs.....even my heels hurt!! I discussed this with my Neuro when I went for my appointment last week and he prescribed Diclofenac (anti-inflammatory). He also sent me for a complete blood workup to rule out Arthritis and Lupus. I haven't gotten the results from those tests yet.

I had never heard that joint pain was a symptom of MS but nothing about this disease makes any sense to me...
