Multiple sclerosis: Is a condition that may result in deterioration of the nerves themselves. This process is not reversible. Symptoms of ms vary, depending on the location of affected nerve fibers. Pain and weakness are on the list, but " innocent until proven guilty". Rec.: see a neurologist or pain management specialist for further investigation.

Pain not unique: At least 90% of MS patients have significant issues with pain, but am not convinced that you have MS at all. See your doctor and uncover why you are suffering your symptoms, and get a diagnostic confirmation.
