My skin is ok, it is deep muscle burn. I don't have pain but an intense burn if my muscles are used for more than easy walking.

No UTI that I am aware of. A sniffle here and there but nothing that I would actually call an illness.

I have had some TN pain flaring up at times and that does bother my teeth.

I will take my 31st injection this evening. I know Becky has had a lot of trouble and thought is might be the A at first but I do not have actual pain in my legs, just spasms, burning, and cramping.

The burning ~ is it like fire burning on the skin, or muscle burning? If they feel like they a blow torch is on them, you MIGHT want to try an antihistimine. I have no idea why Benadryl has been helping me with that (and the pin-prick itching), but I guess some allergic reaction is stirring up my neurological symptoms.

How long have you been on Avonex now?
