Unhappy Neurologist doesn't believe me

Hello,
I was diagoised with RRMS in April 2011. In October 2011 I started to have this sharp, electrical, burning sensation shooting down my right arm. The pain was 10/10 but only lasted for 5-10 seconds. It started out as an occassional discomfort. I mentioned it to my neurologist. He dismissed and told me he wanted to stablized my DMD treatments first.

Well in recent months the pain was still brief, but was coming every 10 minutes or so. I was having trouble sleeping at night and focusing at work. I finally pressed my neurologist about it and he went into his explaination of why he does not believe that MS cause pain, but he agreed to start me on 100mg of neurontin 3 times a day. This did nothing to help the pain so I called back and he increased does to 200mg 3 times a day. This seemed to help for a few weeks, but now the pain is back just as bad as before. I feel like if I call again the doctor will just think it's in my head or that I am trying to get drugs. I feel awful and don't know what to do. I would appreciate some advice.
