I'm having intercostal spasms/stabbing pains in specific spots between my ribs. I can press on them to provide a little relief. I had I a few months ago but it's worse this time. I didn't link it with possible MS hug till this time.
What's a rib belt??? @A MyMSTeam Member
Stay calm when it does take place I know that is a hard thing to do .Stay calm and remember to Breathe.It is hard this is a HUG you do not want.EVER.When mine occurred it was in the Dr's office they told me how to breathe and stay calm.
I wear rib belt. The counter pressure helps.
Mine was the same as your @A MyMSTeam Member except I didn't get any pain just a tight squeezing around my rib cage just like I was being squeezed by a large snake ewwww
I find yoga stretching helps as well. I started getting arm spasms as well as few years ago.
