I am PPMS so I am not sure if I can be of much help.

I take lots of prescription medications so I understand how you feel your life revolves around taking pills.

I have pain all the time but it is on a low level. Sounds like your pain is higher.

Is your MS advancing? I do not think anyone, not even your doctor, can tell you.

Maybe is it an exacerbation which can last a long time, months? Not sure of my information on that but I am pretty sure.

Let's go with the idea that it is temporary.
