MS Hug in legs?

Is it possible to experience "The MS Hug" in your legs?  I have had it in my torso and down past my waist but now it feels like my legs are experiencing it too?  Is that possible?

Hi, Welcome to the forum here.

You could be having spasms in your lower body but it wouldn't exactly be the MS hug, which is caused by the tightening of the ligaments and muscles inbetween our ribs.  It kind of is the same thing, but the hug is a rib cage phenomenon.

I hope it lets up soon for you - be sure to check with your doctor if it keeps up.

I hope we'll see you around more and you'll share your story with us.

be well, feel better - Lulu
