can anyone give me a link to a discription of a MS HUG?
thanks

The MS Hug: Description, Causes, Treatment, Triggers

For me? It is like a tight constrictive band around my ribs that makes breathing hard. For the moment, though, I feel like I have a tight band wrapped around my arm - some days it is a tight, elastic bandage around my left leg.

Gotta love all this sensory stuff.....

...Not!

hug for me feels like somebody giving me a bear hug/tight squeeze and not letting go. I can technically breathe, but can't breathe in/out normally - let alone take a good, deep breath. Almost like a bra on way too tight, but in a different spot around my chest. Told my doc once "I just needed him to lift off my ribs so I could take a decent breath!"

I don't get "pain", just a really aggravating constricting feeling. Lots of people feel it in different levels of the trunk (anywhere from shoulders down to lower abdomen). Some have pain, others just a tight banding feeling.

Thanks to all of you your discriptions of your symptoms.

Erika, That link was very helpful. Short and concise.
I have been struggeling with all of these.

It must be caused by MS or my terrible neuropathy. I have just recently come to think, perhaps this spasm is from the small fiber neuropathy and the outonomic neuropathy.
I have demyelinating lesion on my brain MRI that looks like MS, but after having 2 repeat MRI, ( looking for new lesions) I think the doctors have ruled it out,
