I live close to Johns Hopkins in Maryland and see a MS specialist Neurologist there. During his vacation I had severe pain in my elbow joint (like somebody was stabbing an ice pick in it!) and called a covering neurologist there. "MS doesn't cause pain" she said. No, that did not make me feel better.

I am lucky to have a MS specialist neurologist at a great hospital who treats symptoms whenever I contact him and have seen how uninformed about MS other doctors can be. Some doctors are a better fit for you, keep looking and don't let them make you feel it's all in your head.
