I thought that the nerves can be screwed up enough to cause that type of pain...just as they can cause muscle spasms, fasciculations, etc.

Please clarify for me...my brain is seeing question marks dancing in the air

Yes, PwMS often suffer from peripheral nerve damage too, Debbie . . . but it is caused by a process that is going on from within our central nervous system (MS lesions).

PN can be a stand alone condition, or as a result of various other conditions:
