Squeezing feeling
Hi does anyone else get the squeezing feeling in their body? I feel like there is so much pressure in my body squeezing me. Makes me shakey and legs feel weak. And awful spasms everywhere!
Hi
! Sounds like you are dealing with the dreaded "MS Hug"! Sadly, it's a quite common symptom and an unpleasant one at that. You can learn some more about here, if you like: https://multiplesclerosis.net/symptoms/ms-hug Hi Debm,
I too have felt a crushing full body feeling since diagnosis 10+ years. It feels kind of like the witch of the east in wizard of oz. It is a deep smashing of my bones. I feel it in my hands, face, shoulders, legs, arms.. It is non specific and throughout my body.
It stinks to have pain that does not fit the stereotypical MS textbook descriptions. Our nerves are damaged and this is how the signals come in now. Many times I have been evaluated by MS healthcare providers and been told what I am or am not feeling. Take it from a true MS expert, one who feels like you, that we are not faking it or confused by other conditions. I validate your experience and I understand your pain. Hang in there.
Hi
. Here is an article about the MS hug that might help you understand what is happening and figure out ways to get some relief: https://multiplesclerosis.net/symptoms/ms-hug. Though it probably is the MS hug, it's a good idea to discuss this with your doctor just in case it is a cardiac issue. Best to be safe. Sending the best of all wishes your way. - Lori (Team Member)
