Hey all. It's been a little while.
Last night I had a "hug" that was from the right side of my back and wrapped around to the left side of my ribs in front. So only the left quarter of my back wasn't involved. It lasted from 9pm to 4am. OMG! I maybe slept two hours total and the pain meds didn't help.
Today the right side of my back, at my bra line really hurts. My ribs are sore, but manageable. I called my neuro because my Primary said it sounds neurological and I do have my six months with him tomorrow afternoon. My neuro said it sounds muscular and we can talk about it tomorrow. He also said, "You do realize that a lot of doctors don't believe in MS hugs?" He has never said that before to me. In Nov. he told me to keep track of them and write down when and how long they happen and to call if the pain gets too much (which I did). He said there is no lesion on my thoracic area at all. Just neck and brain so it doesn't make sense to him that I am having a pain point of origin in my back. =(
Any suggestions on talking to him tomorrow? He left me with the advice to alternate heat and cold and continue with my ibuprofen for today.
