MS

Has anybody experience intercostals neuralgia? Soreness and terrible pain in your ribs due to MS?

Hi Jon,
In fact I do have a cervical stem lesion that made me experience the "MS hug" as trhey call it. It is a symptom in which you feel a kind of girdle surrounding the torax, but too tight.
It had been dissapearing, but now it turned to this intercostal neuralgia that really hurts, mainly at night.
Since I'm 6 months pregnant, I can't receive any treatments now.
Take care...

My very first symptom was an area under my right breast of skin pricleness, then within a few days pain, very, very sensitive.  within the next week it creeped around to include the area corresponding to the side under the arm, where I felt a pretty intense stabbing pain for weeks.  Eventually all this resolved over months to just being plain numb from the center breast bone around to my spine on the back, all on the right side laterally from the lower ribs down to roughly my belly button.

I had an MRI of the spine and they found an active lesion that they attributed to this intense and permanent sensory neuralgia.
