Pain management: Chronic pain in ms is best managed with medications such as Gabapentin and lyrica, (pregabalin) as well as others. These provide safer alternatives to nonsteroidals for long term use.

Complex: First, make certain that your MS med is potent enough to control the inflammation. Second, your best choice might be gabapentin, or Lyrica, (pregabalin) or Cymbalta, if pain due to MS. However, co-morbidities can exist which need to be treated appropriately.
