dear CG,

i'm sorry you're in so much pain. you need to see your dr about it.
i've had several kinds of pain with my MS. i have a lot of generalized muscle pain. i also have some neuropathic pain in my feet.

there are some meds (neurontin, lyrica) that are specifically for neuropathic pain. there are others that can help muscle pain.
i also have actually found a pain dr. i found mine thru a local rehab hospital.

i use heat and get wkly massages to help this pain too. very successful.

don't give up looking for answers. take one day at a time and do the best you can. even some counseling might help you to cope. i did that too. it helped me a great deal.

keep us posted.
