DISCUSSION OF THE MONTH: PAIN IN MS 
Pain is a common symptom of MS, but one that is commonly misunderstood. In one study, up to 55% of people with MS experienced clinically significant pain. Have you experienced pain related to your MS? Have you found strategies for managing pain? Share your questions, experiences and tips on the MSConnection.org Discussion of the Month page.
