Pain can be a symptom of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In MS the
nerves may be temporarily of permanently affected by damage
to the layer of insulation around them (demyelination). When
this occurs in the pain nerves it can result in pain. This
pain is often burning or aching in nature, and can be treated
with drugs.
If you have a pain problem, which needs treatment you should
contact your own doctor who can refer you to a pain clinic
in your area. This site is for information only and cannot
be treated as a substitute for the medical advice of your
own doctor. The Pain Relief Foundation is not able to offer
individual medical advice.
