Invisible Symptoms: Pain Management in MS

Pain can be one of the most difficult "invisible" symptoms to describe. Pain might feel like squeezing, crushing, cold, hot, stabbing, burning, or a tightness in the chest. In addition, pain has an emotional element – it can cause distress, fear, anger and frustration, which in turn affects how you deal with it. Mixed with the other symptoms of MS, this pain may seem unbearable.

Please join Lynn Stazzone, nurse practitioner, and Deb Miller, social worker, for this webinar to learn tips and strategies on managing your invisible symptoms, with a focus on pain management. Don't suffer in silence!

Numbness can definetly be painful, atleast I experience it as painful. It's weird, because it's numb but there is some sensation aswell and that sensation is painful to me.

Super good video. Lol. Laugh or cry right! Dare U All, to try to get a early diagnosis in Canada. It's a relief hear that U know what it feels like. I've had spinal MRI, and accepted for back surgery, then the paper work got messed up for my acceptance of the proceedure. I am ten years older now, and just deal with it. I've had two lower back, CT scans, showed a lesson. I had had any more requests for scans denied. But, I have been to a neurologist whom prescribed carbamazepine and antidepressants, for knumbness tingling and long term chronic pain. which depressed, and have an unknown mood disorder, a apparently. What is that? Neurologist refused to see me again. Poverty and dispair. Disrepair. If I wish, I can go see another psychiatrist. Lol.
