I asked a doctor what epidural could counteract the pain in my whole body from MS and his reply was "we don't care about MS pain". I need a doctor who is sympathetic to those of us who deal with MS on a daily basis. The pain measures I was taking allowed me to mow the yard (with rest) cook, bake, and handle my finances. Now My body is so racked with pain getting up from the chair requires me to ask one of my service dogs to assist me up from the chair. I thought doctors were supposed to "first, do no harm". Can anyone help me find a doctor that understands MS?
