Unusual Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms
Some MS patients experience a tight, painful sensation around the stomach or torso that is commonly called the “MS hug.” This symptom is a type of neuropathic pain triggered by a lesion on the spinal cord that causes the tiny muscles between the ribs to go into spasms. Some people say the pain causes them to have difficulty breathing, while others reported the discomfort was severe enough to make them believe they were having a heart attack.
