Stomach muscles - MS hug?
Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 6:23 pm
Can the MS hug go as low as the lower stomach? I always thought not but i'm having a very weird one i'm not sure about because it kinda feels muscle related and MS hug is nerve related b/c of a spinal lesion I believe...
Just had a very big relapse a couple of weeks ago. Went numb from the ribs down, big shock, my ms symptoms have always been pretty mild (unlike the CFS ones which destroy me) so this was a bit like an onslaught.
Anyhoo, I can so/so walk again now, I have my legs back to normal from the knees down. It's just my back, stomach, hands, pelvis and fronts of thighs that are varying from mild to severe. Very numb annoying fingertips for typing!
The thing is, I have had a very odd sensation round my LOWER stomach pretty much since this started, I feel like i'm being squashed and carrying a very low slung baby! It's not painful at all (at present) but the area is half numb and very sensitive at the same time (odd, I know) there and right round my back. It's like i'm wearing a stomach cincher and am retaining a few gallons of water in my lower stomach. Udders! lol
If anyone can enlighten me on this a bit i'd be grateful, I just can't find anything anywhere that identifies with it. I'm mystified and starting to question it - so I hope someone may identify and demystify me
