Never had any pain in my leg before but this last few days my right leg is freezing cold and the on off pain is really bad. Not had it before so can anyone tell me if this is normal
My problem started 2nd January 2022 with my ‘so called good leg’. I needed neuropathic pain relief from my GP, who discussed this with my MS Consultant. So Amitriptyline 25 mg, my problem only kicks off when I go to bed AND a hellish itchy scalp. - Go figure!
Pretty sure this is not very helpful BUT you are not alone M x
Mine has been annoying all this week. I only take 10mg of amitriptyline at night but have the option to double that so will start that and see if it helps. Managed to sleep last night by putting a pillow between my legs thus supporting my bad leg. At least today with fluffy trousers socks and a fluffy blanket my legs not so cold. And I was served coffee and breakfast by my partner so always a plus side
Hi My leg pain and cold feet have been virtually a constant for the last two years. I’m afraid the numbness is not due to the cold, mine was just as bad in the summer although I have also got PVD which could be causing the numbness. I take 600mg of Gabapentin three times a day. I also take 40mg of Baclofen and also 30mg of Amitriptyline. The tablets were only prescribed after my PPMS was diagnosed. The pain I felt without the tablets before my diagnosis was horrendous. If you are going through that pain God help you! Once the tablets kick in it does make a difference but I’m afraid it never goes away. With the feet are they numb as well as cold then it could be Peripheral Vascular Disease. Were you a smoker? It’s one of the causes of PVD. Anyway good luck
