Ms hug?

I have what I can only describe as tightness around my torso.. but my legs (shins in the main) also feel tight, across my back and the back of my head along with a kind of numbness.. does this sound like a “hug” Can it happen elsewhere on the body? I am hating this! My most recent MRI has no new lesions or inflammation, is it possible to have new symptoms but no new brain activity?

I’ve had the same thing with a tightness around my legs as well as torso. In the past, mine has been like a tight elastic band feeling halfway up my lower legs. Does that sound similar? My neurologist told me that not all symptoms mean there’s disease activity happening in the brain (i.e. new lesions). We can just be experiencing a flare-up as a result of other conditions, such as stress or changes in temperature or other triggers. I like to keep a diary about any symptoms and how I have been feeling in the days leading up to them.

@jellysheep that’s exactly it! like the inside of my legs are stretching the skin? I’ve been like this for months. it’s so distressing and makes walking so hard!
