While I haven't been diagnosed with MS, I have experienced bone pain as a symptom of another disease. If what you are experiencing is truly bone pain, OTC pain relievers probably will not help. When I had bone pain like you describe, I had to take Vicodin and even that didn't help it fully. It did however take an edge off of it and make it manageable and helped me sleep better without so much pain.

Heat sensitivity has been an issue for me for a really long time, most of my life pretty much. I have everything for weakness to real pain from it. Too hot, my body hurts. And I also get really confused, I actaully got lost several blocks from home a couple of times from overheating.

But I would suggest somethings first before thinking drugs, that is just me. A/C is the first. I did not have it for years and suffered so much. I had a million fans, the last were the osillating (I knwo that is spelled wrong, but I can't think it out right now) towers, and they were/are the best I found, still use them on not really killer hot days. Also get the cooling equipment. It makes a world of difference. It was 90 at 10:00Am here in Chicago this morning, and really humid, which is the worst part sometimes, but with the vest and hat I was able to get to the store and back without really getting hot. So I would really recommend that equipment.

Stay hydrated. I can't stress this enough. It is important for everyone of course, but I have found that if I get hte least bit dehydrated, I am in serious trouble. My MS seems to get the signal that i am weak, and it just kicks in big time. Tremors, wobbly legs, double vision, the whole deal, and that is like really one glass of water makes that big a difference. The thing is that once it starts, it can't be stopped, at least with me. If I go into a bad MS situation form the heat, it doesn't just stop when i get cool, whereas if i just overheat and am hydrated and not over tired, once I cool off, I am fine. So water, water, water.

Try all of this first. And sunglasses. The sun does odd things to my eyes which seems to make my body hurt. I know, sounds odd, but there it is. Too much hunidity and my already sort of hazy vision gets much worse.

Good Luck, I know it is really uncomfortable. But try al lthis before you go to meds...at least you may need less if nothing else.

I carry a 1L water bottle around with me everywhere and I always wear sunglasses.

I'm mostly wondering if bone pain can be a MS related issue that is caused by overheating or if it just gets better when I cool down because I'm freaking hot.

I'm also getting an air conditioner on the weekend! YAY!

My docs all say it is MS related. I have brought it up over and over with them as it is just one of the worst things for me.

I have had bone pain on and off for years, but I don't think heat directly triggers it for me. Of course, if I get overheated all my MS symptoms are worse, so, maybe?
Hope you feel better

Oh, and congrats on the coming A/C! It will make a world of difference. Nice mom you got.

Heat is a major enemy of mine as well. Not sure if knees are really considered bones? Mine have throbbing and pressure this last few weeks.

Heat though. Holy smokes. I'm with Nikki only I send my son out, I don't go out in the heat unless I really have something that needs done.

I agree with the dehydration causing effects. Stay hydrated - it's so good for the body altogether.
