I always thought "the Hug" involved the diaphragm...

I've had a spot on my left low ribcage in the back for over 6 years that my former pcp thought was a kidney problem...nope; tests were negative. It is sore to the touch, and feels as if I have a golf ball there. I think it's the muscles being permanently tight.

As to the abdominal issues, I know for sure that MS can make things sluggish (even tho my neuro disagrees with me); I have issues with it all of the time.

I am beginning to believe there's only so much the docs and drugs can do to help us with our various issues. All we can do is eat right, get enough sleep and move our bodies. And pray
