What does the 'MS hug' feel like?

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the MS hug feels like. Ive just had my second Tysabri infusion and i started with a pain in the left side of my rib cage from below my shoulder blade to where my waist starts. Its so intense i have to keep stopping when im walking. It hurts when im sat aswell. Im going to ring my MS nurse in the morning but wondered if anyone here could give me some advice. Thanks Sarah

Hi @sarah_irwin, I personally find the MS hug is just like someone standing behind me with their arms around me squeezing gently but firmly between the "moobs" and belly. It may not sound too bad but for me It's most of the day, but I'm now so used to it I hardly notice it. Best wishes graham
