So many doctors still believe that pain is not a notable symptom for MS. If the function of nerves is damaged and faulty transmissions being sent, you'd think nociception would be included in that, no?

I have neuromyelitis optica and pain has been a major feature in my journey - spasms in the muscles along the entire length of my spine and horrible shooting pains in both shoulders and arms (thanks, C5/6 lesions!). I have been prescribed a combination of Lyrica, Valium and Endep for this, it doesn't stop it completely but it definitely helps quite a lot. In fact I'm having a bad attack of all the pains right now because I missed my weekend doses. OTC paracetemol/ibuprofen + codeine helps with breakthrough pain (not sure what the availability of codeine products is like in your country).
