Factors influencing successful weight loss are: weight loss during dieting alone, adherence to diet, eating habits, motivation and personality. Weight loss due to weight reduction medication use is generally temporary. In addition, the potential for development of physical dependence and addiction is high.
What Youâre Feeling. Like most symptoms of MS, the feeling is different for each person. You might have pain under your rib cage or anywhere between your neck and waistline. It can be dull and achy, sharp, or burning. It can last a few seconds to a few hours, and in rare cases, a few days.
Causes of MS Pain. Pain in MS is directly related to either an MS lesion or plaque in the nervous system (nerve pain), or the effects of disability. When MS makes moving about difficult, stress on muscles, bones and joints can cause pain (musculoskeletal pain). Pain in MS can be caused or worsened by infection, or pressure ulcers. Nerve pain can be continuous and steady or sudden and irregular. Nerve pain is reported in varying degrees of severity.
