I agree -- it's pretty hard to top nerve pain! Having been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, the pain doesn't seem to fit the description. Not so much the muscles, but the nerves. I have it all over my body, different areas at a time, however I've had a literal "pain in the butt" for 13 years non-stop. It sure wears you down after awhile. The only med I found that really helps is Carbamazipine (sp?), generic for Tegretol. The only trouble with that is it puts me to sleep so I don't like to take it often.

Hopefully you can get a handle on your pain before the MS symptoms advance, if they do. Being in a wheelchair now, the added pressure on my "bottom" is making things worse. Good luck with your new neuro!

Yes, Koala I will let you know how I get on.

I just want some answers. (preferably that it's NOT MS..)
I'm over being told it's stress though.

There seems to be not much left to test for, but my aim is to go in there and say, 'ok, can we start from scratch here? Maybe re-do all the bloods, another MRI...'.
My last brain/C-Spine MRI was last May. Bloods done last April and June. Spinal MRI done August. All clear.

How can i say nicely 'please don't tell me my sx are from stress' if he heads down that path??
