MS Hug?

It usually is a overnight / morning thing, but my whole back feels super tight, I can feel it in my ribs too. I know everything I read says torso & heart about tightness in the front / sides, but can it be in your back or is this something totally different?

My "hug" started by encircling the ribs/chest and has now moved down to encircle the waist/hip area. So yes, it could certainly be in your lower back.

With me, it comes and goes in areas around my chest and back. I found that slight stretches of the affected area helps loosen it up. Blessings Jimeka 🤗

I’ve had it from my chest to my back. When experienced, it’s only on the right side of my body, the side affected by MS. So, yes, I believe you can experience an MS hug in your back.

sounds like what i feel when it hits...it is scary feeling but if you are afraid it is something else you need to call and talk to the doctor ...better to hear it isn't anything to worry about than to let it go ...be safe ....love and much happiness...

the first time i experienced it i thought i was dying from a heart attack. i kept telling myself 16 was too young for that. smh though it was worse on the left side, i felt it all the way around. sometimes it's higher up on my torso, but it's gone as low all the way around as my navel. sorry you're going through this. it's not fun.
