Anyone else experience the ms hug?

Mine sometimes feels like I have ‘a stitch’ or a ‘crampy feeling’ in between my ribs, sharp shooting pains or a ‘pressure’ feeling and tightness and when breathing, like I have a elastic band around my ribs and heavy feeling on chest. Anyone else? What kind of things do other experience with the ms hug?

@LoRobbo my ms hug is always on the right side of my body extending from the hip area to the chest. I experience a tightness as though someone's gripping that side and like you, the heavy feeling on my chest but just on the right side🤷‍♀️ When I had my initial relapse, the right side of my body was affected more than the left so maybe this is the reason!

Mine jumps between (mainly) my right side but sometimes it can jump to the left side or in the middle. My relapse affected my left side more, which is odd as the hug presents itself more on my right. It’s all new to me so I’m ‘learning on the job’ I guess we all are!
