All my pain came on 5.5 years ago, DDD, degenerative disc disease.
Hi Melitta, I have mainly nerve and spinal disc pain. The muscle pain is when I do too much or carry too much stuff in my portable cart.
All of my muscles are constantly tight so when I use one it knots up,
Seems like over time they just get tighter and tighter. Light stretching helps but stretching too much makes it worse, I’ve tried massage, acupuncture, PT but only get minimal relief for lots of $$$
I have all sorts of different pains but I do know that some are caused by things other than MS.
I have to admit, I have no pain. I am basically numb, which is fun at parties! However, I do have general weakness, which I am always trying to fight through. I have started to do 8 pound weight everyday (Except Sunday… my day of rest!) I started with 3 pound weight, a few years ago, then I went to 5 pound, and NOW I am at 8 pound. I have said it before, but if it weren’t for the MS, I would be in the best shape of my life! LOL!
