Hi Erin, I get the MS Hug (banding around the bra area) from the back all the way around to the front of the chest. Some get it around the extremities. Do you think it could be that?

The link below lists all sorts of odd sensations and pain MS can cause.

Types of MS-Related Pain

http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/news/J...eSymptoms.html

Band-like pain in torso or extremities (Jeffery, 2000)

Caused by a lesion in the spinal cord, this pain is characterized by intense pressure or squeezing in a girdle-like pattern around the torso.
May respond partially to phenytoin or gabapentin.
For resistant cases, benzodiazepines may be helpful.
