MS hug?

[lydia231]

Hi,
I have been having a spasm type feeling under my right rib cage off and on for a few months. My doctor can't find anything wrong in that area.  It feels alot like when I was pregnant and the babies foot would go under my rib cage than move back down after a couple of minutes. Could this be an MS hug?  Sometimes I feel a slight ache in that spot after the spasm is over, but not always.

Are you sure its not your gall bladder? I had some discomfort there from a stone until I got that thing out of there 10 years ago. Never had a baby's foot there so I wouldn't know about that, but it sounds like the right ballpark. (Note: The World Series starts tomorrow.)

Thank you for your comments. It's is nice to know that someone else has experienced simular symptoms even if we are not sure what it is from.

I have MS and have the exact same thing happen to me often to. It will happen and go away under my right rib cage too. I described the same feeling as a baby kicking my ribs during pregnancy.

Not much help either cause I havent had it checked out but we may be on to something

hmmm...i can't be sure if that would be the ms hug, but it does sound similar.

i had something that wrapped around my left side that was constant for about 6 weeks, felt to me like braxton hicks tightness or yes, even a babies foot under the ribs.  mine was never painful though.

i have heard that ms hug described as a feeling that can last for both a brief and extended period of time, with and without pain so i wouldn't rule it out.

hope it stops bothering you soon and as always, hope that you can actually find some answers!!!
