It has been a common teaching that pain is rare in multiple sclerosis (MS). Our observation of a group of patients with long standing disease suggests that pain is in fact a common symptom. We have shown by means of a questionnaire that 82% of our patients with chronic MS suffered some form of pain and 64% suffered from pain which could be attributed to a neurologic lesion due to the patients' MS.
