Yes, I had over a month of left sidd rib
pain just prior to a major ms relapse. I
don't mean to scare you but have it hecked
out. Mine is still unexplained. They
all just acted as if I pulled something.
For something to be that painful I would
remember if I had done something to
myself.
Good luck.

Sounds lik the "ms hug" have experienced
it around my ribs as well as my waist.
Pcp thinks I pulled a mucslce. Follow up
visit this week with neuro to see what he
thinks. Will let you know.

What you are feeling is what the call the
ms hug. It will pass. I still have some
discomfort at times. Do you take anything
for the pain?

Thank you for your response. Yes I am
currently taking 40mg baclofen daily for
muscle spasms in my legs and arms. Over
the past two weeks i've noticed that this
so called "hug" is around my neck. I
would refer to it as more of a
strangulation than a hug. Would
prednisone relieve these symptoms? Also
does this "hug" cause loss of sensation in
swallowing/difficulty in swallowing?

I've been having rib pain for several
months now along with depression, fatigue,
shooting electric shocks down my neck,
back pain, general feeling of weakness.
Lots of joint pain. Feel woozy and poor
balance. Sometimes I get the shakes in my
arms and legs. My doc thought maybe
arthritis, then maybe lung problems (cat
scan showed nothing), bad disk ? (back
mri showed nothing)
he then said that I was depressed and
maybe I need to see a psyc. I go there
tomorrow.
He wants me to have a cardiac stress test,
but my hmo keeps blowing me off. I cant
get an appointment.
Doc mentioned almost in passing that the
next step will probably be a brain mri. I
thought, whats this about?. Then he said,
you might have ms.
My wife thinks i'm nuts. Everyone has
pains.

Yes I too had rib pain the doctors thought
it was my gallbladder but it turned out
to be 5 broken ribs on the right side you
see I have ms & I has to have 12000
mg's of liquid steroids in a year which
caused me to have osteoperosis thats why
somehow I broke the ribs & did'nt know
it
