Do people with ALS experiance pain. I know that muscle spasticity hurts, and cramping. But I hurt all the time all over. Not as bad when I rest my muscles, but after I do stuff I hurt. It even hurts to walk.
 
Cynth, my mum experienced pain, and the doctors did prescribe painkillers at first. She would have pains in her arms and her legs, sometimes they were incredibly sore. After a while the painkillers were not doing as much and they gave her these patches called bu- trans, they have a tiny dose of morphine in them, every 7 days we put a new patch on her arm and it worked wonders. She had them for months, they were great. Ask your doc about them.
