maybe your dr will Rx something else.
could your pcp dr help until you see the neuro?

i'm so sorry you're in so much pain.
praying that you will get some relief soon.

I take currently for spastiscity in my legs valium 2mg twice a day, zanaflex 8mg at night, baclofen 40mg a day, neurontin 1200 morn and noon and 1600 at night, nortriptylan 100mg at night. I am suppose to be on a disease modifying drug I was on rebif and it was starting to damage my liver so he wanted me to consider Tysabri I am not exactly sure on it but have been considering trying copaxone. I just know the pain is severe to the point I want to do away with my legs.Thanks for all the hugs and prayers very greatly appreciated.

coletaterbug,

Have you tried heat to treat the pain in your legs?

I use an electric throw blanket on my legs. I was a little leary at first because I am heat intolerant but the heat from the blanket didn't bother my MS and helped the pain in my legs.

I have been doing this for a few years and even had to get a new electric throw this past fall because the other one wore out

I am sorry you ar in so much pain, I know how that feels
