Pain from MS can be very difficult to treat and for the patient to deal with. I like to try and control the pain with a multi-modal approach, that way you attain the most benefit. For starters I think you should definitely start taking some neuropathic, or
nerve pain controlling, medications. A good start would be with
gabapentin. Typically you will start at 300mg daily and slowly increase overtime to a dose which helps you and avoids side effects. Another excellent option is a
tricyclic antidepressant, called pamelor. Pamelor is very old, cheap, and highly efficacious. Typically i start at 25mg nightly. This will not only help with pain, but will help you to sleep better as well. Now other than pharmaceuticals solutions, another great option is
nutraceuticals ( vitamins and supplements). I would recommend a vitamin regimen that includes
vitamin D3 ( cholcalciferol) 1000 units twice a day to help with pain, inflammation. Also start taking a vitamin B complex ( containing B3, B6, B12) as this helps with nerve related pain and helps decrease further nervous system damage. Lastly I would start taking
magnesium citrate 500mg nightly, to aid in better sleep and help with pain ( magnesium citrate is absorbed the best by your body, so be sure it is this formulation). If the pain persists and you begin having more tingling/unpleasant sensations, another option would be
alpha lipoic acid 600mg twice daily. These suggestions are all proven to be effective in the medical literature and I use them on a daily basis for my MS patients. I hope that this helps and I hope you feel better soon! Good luck!
