daily pain stabs with ms?

Is it normal to feel random, short-lived stabs of pain in different parts of your body through out the day with ms? Every day I feel small but painful stabs of pain for example in my right forearm, then in my left palm, then later in my right ankle. Some days it is more frequent than others and some days it seems to focus on one side of my body. I also feel trigeminal neuralgia more or less, one episode a month. Anybody else deal with this?

I get this often, mostly in my right arm. They are sudden sharp, stabbing pains that subside in seconds.

Thankfully the Trigeminal neuralgia only lasts a few seconds at most. But I do have an appointment with a new neuro in August.

I know it could definitely be other things, I just wanted to hear that I'm not the only person that feels things everyday that no one can see.

I used to get them and they were sometimes in the worst places.  Fortunately that quieted down.  All these little pings could be from MS but they could also come from strange random nerve misfires.  

The trigeminal neuralgia is different and you should be sure to contact your Neuro if that pain lasts more than a day.
