JJLL,
Since this is intermittent (and perhaps a side-effect of Tysabri or some other med), I'd suggest that LL keeps track of the meds used to see if this the joint pain follows a pattern.
I'm not sure why my doc and pharmacy think joint pain from an allergy to meds is serious business, but I am not even permitted to take Tetracycline any more for that reason.
If you find there is a pattern, i.e. 2nd week after infusion, or day after taking some other med (each time), then I would definitely bring this up with LL's doc AND neuro.
Cherie
