Okay, let me add some more here. I have a terrible shooting pain down one thigh muscle all the time. Its almost like a tearing sensation or like something is ripping a knife down my leg. Its fast but painful. The docs can also try you on Lyrica for this type of nerve pain too.

Another thing to try is Capsasin Cream. This stuff will stay on your hands for a long time and burn your eyes or other sensitive sites that you might touch. So its important to wash your hands then wash them some more.

Sometimes you can use this type of cream and it seems to "fool" the brain into thinking about the new sensation and get it away from the other pain you are feeling. M.S. is faulty signals and there is really nothing wrong with your arm....your brain just thinks there is. Its worth a try and you have to keep doing it to break the cycle. Hopefully you don't have a pinched nerve or something like that going on....but I usually find a pinched nerve feeling is always there even if it just feels weird then it shoots a bad pain....but you always know its there. These M.S. things tend to come and go at will.
