Anyone getting the MS hug?

I’ve heard folk talk about this and am not 100% sure what it is. I have a continuous tightness around my waist, its only relived by lying down. Is this the MS hug?

Currently I have a fierce pain under my right breast that goes around to the middle of my back. I thought I was having a heart attack. I find out it is called the "M.S. Hug". I asked for help from my M.S. nurse practioner & she gave me a prescription which helps a lot.

Wake up with headache and shaking inside but not outside. Anybody else like this.

I’m feeling down as my legs are heavier and I just now want to sit and do nothing as my legs are heavy and I get the MS hug at the first sign of tiredness. Also, I’ve been told I’ve now got secondary progressive MS and am going through tests to see if I can take Mayzent ( simonipod). Any one else ta...

Hi, I'm new here/MS Hug

There is something I have to ask. I was recently diagnosed with MS after a brain MRI. I need to know what this MS hug is. Please read: 25 years ago when I was pregnant with my youngest there was a moment when he stuffed his little foot in my rib. About a year later I started to notice intense pain ...

Ms Hug

Lately I’ve been dealing with a new symptom, this tightness around my mid section that can be painful at times. I don’t want to believe that it is ms hug can it be anything else?

How often do you get an MRI of your spine?

Just wondering how often you get an MRI of your spine done? I still don’t have a diagnosis of MS but as the years go on, new symptoms seem to appear. I had an MRI of my full spine back in 2021 but didn’t have any lesions there, only my brain. That was prior to my leg becoming as weak as it is now....

Hi I have rrms but latley I seem to be having more episides than usual , I am pretty used with tingling down one leg and regular pain in my sides which I believe is somthing called the ms hug which is reall annoying, but latley I have been experiencing servere pain in my lower jaw and teeth which happen when I touch a certain part of my bottom lip, even licking my lip can set it of, a few days ago it got scary when I was unable to talk due to the pain when simply trying to speak, I am currently on copaxone, this is the first time I have spoke about my ms on a forum apart from speaking to my long suffering partner ( who has to endure my whinging ) I just would like to know if anyone else has this sort of pain and any advice on how to deal with it . Thanks David
