Multiple Sclerosis - Chest Pain - Costochondritis or MS Hug?

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - Chest Pain - Costochondritis or MS Hug?

(VIDEO 11)

Since I was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis a little of three years ago, I started to get this chest pain and its pretty damn painful, I can tell you!

After three Dr's visits I'm not really any closer to finding out what it is, however I know this.. the pain can be so horrific it can impede my ability to think and function clearly.

Some of the symptoms relate to a condition called "costochondritis" but they don't completely fit the bill, for example the pain doesn't increase when pressure is applied to the area.

I think I'm experiencing the "MS HUG" which is all too familiar to those who have MS. My theory is, due numbness and the incorrect delivery of signals (via nerves) the muscles aren't working properly in my chest and hence causing pain.

Obviously, its very important to get any kind of chest pain checked out by your Doctor, as it could be life threatening!
