Default Where do I belong?

I have been posting off and on mostly on PN board. I do have nerve pain and am on 3000 mg of Gabapentin. My nerve pain is in abdomen, legs, arms, and sometimes face and neck. It gets worse as day goes on.

I have been to neuro MD and he said something showed up in MRI. He thought it might be MS and I had spinal tap which failed to confirm.

So which board would be good for me? MD did EMG and said no to PN. I did get some valuable info from the PN board and am grateful for that.

Hi Januarybabe,
It must be difficult dealing with this type of pain and having no real answers as yet.

If it was me, and in light of what your neuro MD had suggested, I'd post over on the MS Forum and see if anyone there has any information that may help you.

Multiple Sclerosis Forum

There are also information threads in the Sticky section.

I don't know your background, so making too many suggestions would not be very helpful.
e.g. Diabetes, autoimmune disorder/s, Fibromyalgia? Nerve pain is associated with many conditions.

In the meantime, pain management needs to be addressed, especially if the medication you're presently taking isn't helping as much as it could.

All the best to you. Keep searching.
