Am I Having The MS Hug?

San Diego, CA

I have been experiencing a strange sort of pain in my waist/back under my ribs. Is this an MS hug?

Hmmm could be, that’s where mine was but only on one side. Spine and around to the front.

Yes! It feels really weird when it happens.

When I’ve had it happen it feels like bandages are wrapped tightly around my midsection. Sometimes my muscles will spasm there as well.

I get mine tightly around my rib cage.
