| Overview of Pain as a Symptom of MS Okay, here goes. Raise your hand if you think multiple sclerosis (MS) is not painful. Keep your hand up if you actually have MS. I guess that there may be a couple of you out there with MS who are saying, "Pain? Whaddya mean?" However, I am willing to bet that (like me) most of you have felt pain as part of your MS experience, whether it is from the "MS hug," severe tingling sensations or optic neuritis. The pain that comes along with MS is different for everybody, both in manifestation and severity, given that there are over 50 symptoms of MS - most of which could have a pain component. Surprisingly, it was only in very recent years that the "experts" believed that MS brought any form of pain.

When I was diagnosed in 1995, I asked the doctor if he had and good news and he said "MS is painless".
Now, 13 years later, pain in my spine is my worst symtom.
Tim,
Much was not know about MS in 1995. Yet - I am sure that MS Pain was still known the medical community that specialized in Mutliple Sclerosis.. Have you been seeing physicians about your spine and what do they say?
