While MG itself doesn't directly cause neuropathic pain, some MG treatments, particularly corticosteroids like prednisone, can cause joint and muscle pain as side effects. If you're experiencing leg pain while taking these medications, it's important to discuss this with your healthcare provider.

General muscle weakness from MG can sometimes lead to aches and pains over time, but persistent neuropathic pain should be evaluated by your healthcare team to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment. Since you mention having both ocular and generalized MG, it's worth noting that about 85% of people who start with ocular symptoms do develop weakness in other parts of the body. Your healthcare provider should evaluate any new symptoms to ensure proper management of your condition and adjust treatment as needed.
