Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms: Neuropathic Pain

[@lornie0912]

I didn't realize it was classed as pain 🙈💜 I just knew what I was experiencing was uncomfortable. Cannabis really helped, I wish access was better here.

[@k.dimitrova8621]

I also used cannabis for pain relief but the result was temporary. Eventually I stopped it, as well as the Tecfidera, which I was taking for 5 years cos I didn't make sense puffing and getting dumb for the sake of having no pain and these pills which I was feeling like I was doing worse than I was and realised it was all about piece of mind and inner calmness

[@sammikinney1601]

I could write a book. Just on the many different pain issues that come in the MS luggage that I carry with me everyday. It is almost as entertaining as the dizziness or fatigue. Or whatever other daily disrupted path is laid out for me to maneuver

[@melissaperinchief9232]

Am I the only one who is skeptical of pain doctors and their “contracts”? I’ve heard nothing but negative things about pain drs and pain clinics. Thanks for the video Dr.B.

[@down-to-earth-mystery-school]

I have constant neuropathic pain and use gabapentin and medical cannabis. Catches about 85% of the pain.

[@MikeyIvers]

Hi is that better than lyrica because lyrica ain't touching my pain at all 🙏❤️

[@ScottyRosencrance304]

I have to share this and you can do with it what you will I used to be on 3200 Mg of gabapentine for neuropathy. It was all controlling. Slowly, yes I started to drop down on it. Here’s the fun part, not really. I began ice baths 3-5 times a week and that made my neuropathy frequency drop to barely happening. And I continued to slowly drop down off of gabapentine. I’m actually now completely off of gabapentine, but the burning, itching, stinging happens once every few days. And now when it does, I have figured out the most amazing acute treatment. I freeze tiny small containers and have small blocks of ice. Once it begins, the burning, the worst pain almost, I begin rubbing ice on the area. It may take a couple a couple of times doing it for a few minutes, but 100% od the time, the brain decides that the “pain from the ice” will distract it from the neuropathy, and then it’s done. It’s gone and the rest of the night I’m good to go. Do sone research for the healing powers od ice, and then think about utilizing it. It’s the most energizing thing I’ve ever found also. If I’d known of it 20 years ago my disease course and happiness would have been completely different. Take care guys. There are things you can do besides medicine. We have got this! 😊

[@jenigriffiths1004]

I get a pain similar to sciatica running down my spine. I asked my neurologist as it was stopping me sleeping. They said to use adult colouring books as a grounding technique since MS can't cause pain. I can't see very well and my hand doesn't work so not terribly helpful! Thank you for helping my explaining yo me that the pain is real and I am not a nut job!

[@jenigriffiths1004]

Thank you for giving me the confidence to ask again about pain relief as the thought of living in this much persistent pain was becoming unbearable.

[@michaelwhite5255]

Sorry to hear about such an arrogant response from your Neurologist . Are you seeing MS specialist or general neurologist?

[@Elriyan]

My love. If your doctor thinks this is actually true, it's time to start looking seriously for a new one. A doctor shouldn't be saying your pain doesn't exist, for any reason, ever.

[@maletero9888]

Neuropathy seems the least understood aspect of medicine to PCP's.My doctor was was absolutely discounting 100% of what I was saying and my symptoms until I started having optic symptoms. Eventually making it to a Neuro -optometrist who got me to the right doctor. I have neuropathy and sciatica. I learned from this channel how to verbalize what was happening to me and relate that into a treatment plan , beyond my doctor asking me "what do you want me to do"? Good luck Also, I know it sucks to find a new doctor, but if your doc dosen't get it... Find one that does

[@klburke]

Jeni please please please if you're able, get a new neurologist. What a horrible uneducated and arrogant response. You deserve much better care! I am incensed on your behalf, at the care you are receiving by this doctor. Best of luck to you.

[@janehouska224]

Wish I had seen this 8 years ago. My first neurologist was awesome, reminds me of you! Then he left the practice. I stayed at the MS center, mainly for insurance purposes $$$. Big mistake! Long story short, I was under treated. Finally found my original neurologist and started going back to him. He tried to address my issues to no avail. Still glad I changed back to his practice. Unfortunately, he passed away earlier this year. Still sticking with the same practice, coincidentally with one of his former residents from way back when. Anyway, appreciate all you do for our unique community!

So glad I found you're videos! I have been diagnosed with Ms for 29 years. An area of skin on my back has burned for the past 6 years. It's like I am sunburned and someone is rubbing sandpaper over it. It is miserable. Heat makes it almost unbearable. I'm taking Gabapentin and it helps, but I'm walking around my house in sleeveless tops with comfortable shorts and it is winter! I use to love summer and heat. Now, Winter is when I feel Besr. I'm going to share some of these meds with my neurologist. Thank you for sharing this video!!!

[@sheymahelissyaweah3042]

I have only seen my neurologist twice in 2 years and get infusion therapy once every six months...thats all the interaction I have had...Just want to say thank you sir for your tireless efforts in giving us information that is needed to understand this baffling condition.....

[@jen1399]

Thank you so much Dr B. I've been so quiet in my MS Village lately, as I've been caring for my Dad with dementia but I've had a recent transverse myelitis relapse and I am struggling with it. Your videos empower and calm me. Thanks for everything you do; I hope you and your family are well and I am sending you a hug from Scotland. 🧡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@dermlover1]

What were your TM relapse symptoms?

[@PallasAthene12]

The constant neuropathic pain in my hands has been the single worst thing to affect my quality of life. Tried pregabalin but couldn't function on it; it felt like I was drunk. Hoping my neurologist can come up with an alternative, so this video was really useful for me. Thank you.

[@VS-lr6zb]

Hey did your new medicine worked ?

[@Jojoma449]

Can you describe the neuropathic pain ? I have a finger squeezing sensation every night

[@Craftygirl56]

I have constant pain in my legs that feels like someone is piling heavy pillars on them and crushing them. That’s besides all the other pain I have in my body, some ms related, some not, but still significant. I was on Gabapentin which did not help much. Then changed to Lyrica which was a little better. I also take Cymbalta and Topamax. I still stay in such a pain state I stay curled in a ball with the inability to sleep or eat. Narcotic meds help. However because doctors are afraid to prescribe them to me I can only get a few daily at a very low dose. I cherish the time I can take these and have a little relief. It angers me that doctors have the ability to give me more relief but won’t. I bide my time until the pain becomes to much and I know what I need to do because I refuse to live in such a state. I’m in my 60’s and I’m not going to become a drug addict. The doctors have such control over how many you can get and when you can get them filled I don’t know how anyone can. This country has made it so hard for legitimate pain patients by spouting statistics for drug addicts. It’s so unfair.

[@placeholderhandle1995]

i hope you're doing a little better right now, you're in my thoughts

[@jj-py9kf]

Or try to get prescribed subutex or whatever it's called. You can't od from it. It's what they give heroin addicts nowadays. Just tell them you're a junkie and you want to get clean.

[@Veestar88]

It’s funny you said Topamax, I was taking it when I had my first symptom: numbness in my leg. My doc at the time told me it was a rare side effect of Topamax! It wasn’t until I was writing out a medical history for my neurologist that I realized that it was likely my first MS symptom.

Good morning from Jersey! I am a “trifecta” according to my neurologist…ms, spine issues, and neuropathic pain. Consequently, I’m challenging to treat. The chronic pain I have in my leg and foot is unbearable. While I do use a lot of the meds and cannabis that you talk about, you definitely gave me some great talking points for my next visit! Thank you!

[@butterflyangel1139]

Hey Dr. Boster! I participated in your live stream video chat a few days ago & am glad to see this video addressing some of my questions about nerve pain! With my first (& most recent MS relapse), I had widespread prickly nerve pain (independent of touch), electric shock when my knee was squeezed, & clothing felt scratchy. I called my neurologist & after a round of oral prednisone, the nerve pain has overall lessened but the prickly nerve pain is still present at times. Being that I experience too many side effects with the medications typically used to treat nerve pain, I'm looking into topical treatment options. So far, I've found Aspercreme w/ lidocaine helps & am going to look into CBD containing creams as well. Also, I hadn't made the connection until you mentioned it during your live stream (I think), but I have definitely noticed one of my triggers for nerve pain increasing in relationship to my monthlies & so am going to ask my gyn about taking the pill continuously instead of cyclic, thanks!

[@wadejensik651]

It seams my neuropathic pain is triggered by a lot of things I eat or drink. Most spicy foods really trigger it…. coffee and soda drinks seems to really flare it up my feet really get angry!!! I really like the scrolling words nice addition!!! Thank you as always!

Thank you for this information. I am in the UK. I get permanent neuropathic pain behind my eye since I was diagnosed in 1991 where my first symptom was retro bulbar neuritis. I have taken amytriptiline and pregabalin which did work for pain but I came off it when it stopped working. I was originally on tegretol first and it worked well, but it affected my liver and so I had to stop it. I just put up with it now. CBD oil has helped me along with tizinidine with muscle spasms in my calf muscles. I started tizinidine when it was fairly new as Zanaflex when baclofen stopped working.

Too often I have heard that MS does not cause pain, and it is my #1 symptom. I often get zingers. Random electrical pains or stinging pains that come and go in various body parts. It's very odd and random, but can be very intense in nature. I am so glad you are addressing this.

Thank you Dr Boster for another informative video. I occasionally experience neuropathic pain, for instance when I have been taking on too much work (or parties 😉) or with certain bad hormonal episodes. It can feel like an ice pick is being jammed into my ear (that one's particularly bad). Or I can have pain like an electric current running through my left arm as if I hit my funny bone. It never lasts long but it's very annoying and sometimes debilitating. I have these episodes about bimonthly. What would you advice your patient in such a situation?

[@sylviaolney-qj8jd]

[@rh700]

Thanx for the info Dr.Boster, very informative! I was diagnosed in 2014 with relapsing/remitting MS and a syrinx at C4-6. I currently take Ocrevus. In the last year, my right hand and forearm have become increasingly numb and now, when I go to the beach, I lose a scary amount of strength in both my right arm and my right leg. I'm guessing this had to do with overheating? My MS clinician conducted EMGs and MRIs and concluded that I have no new lesions and my MS is not progressing. I'm curious why I am just now getting these symptoms if my disease is not getting worse? Thank you for any insight. Renee H, Florida

[@kevindonnelly7475]

I was recently diagnosed with MS. I have 3 spinal cord lesions, fortunately none in the brain. The difficulty I have is that I do get l'Hermittes down my left arm but I also have a bulging disc at C2/C3 and a herniated disc at C4/C5 that is flattening the ventral surface of the cord. 2 more bulging discs in the thoracic spine and my L5/S1 has virtually no disc height and what is left of it bulges out to the left. I've had left leg issues, especially in the hip flexor area and drop foot more recently. Essentially I have a noticeable, sometimes very measurable disc issue in the area of each lesion. How does one help differentiate between MS symptoms and Degenerative Disc Disease and arthritis (which runs in our family)?

[@peppagrails8285]
