In 1987 my neurosurgeon found me walking with right foot drop. At the time he thought it was because of my herniated disks l4l5-l5-S1. Then in the 1990's I became clumsy and after a complete workup at Oregon Health Science Univ. I was disagnosed with intermittent, relapsing MS caused by Epstein Barr virus (I had mono in 1964 and 1978) Blood work definitively confirmed diagnosis. Here I am 64 yrs old and a pain specialist stated "we don't care about your MS pain - get over it". I had been taking vicodin, soma, atarax (none to excess) and now my body is wracked with pain and the doctor refused to help me. He wants only to inject epidurals into my back and spine. I asked him what epidural could possible help the pain in my body and he said "I don't care". None of the doctors in Foley AL care that my quality of life is fast deteriorating and I need help. Is there anything you can do?
