How would you describe your MS HUGS? How long have it lasted? Did you take anything for it or do anything to ease it off or stop?
Some Drs doesn't no to much about Ms Hug or MS Even the ER thats why you got to stay in Touch with your NEUROLOGY
Its just another Spasming You don't ever want Ever
@A MyMSTeam Member I don’t know if I’ve ever experienced one or not. My lesion is at C-4 so too high for it to cause one. I have a lot of other issues to deal with, so if the good lord skips this one on me, I’m fine with that. Thought I’d supply a link to MS hug for people to learn more about:

I hope this is helpful.
@A MyMSTeam Member here’s information I found that pretty much explains the text book version...
“Some people report no pain but instead feel pressure around their waist, torso, or neck. Others experience a band of tingling or burning in the same area. Sharp, stabbing pain or dull, widespread aching can also be symptoms of MS hug. You may experience the following sensations during an MS hug:
squeezing
crushing
crawling feelings under the skin
hot or cold burning
pins and needles
As with other symptoms, MS hug is unpredictable and each person experiences it differently. Report any new pain symptoms to your doctor. You can also experience symptoms like MS hug with these other inflammatory conditions:
transverse myelitis (inflammation of the spinal cord)
costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage that connects your ribs)”
I didn’t know either. Thank You
