From tight banding and rib cramps to stitch-like pain and breathlessness, we unpack what it feels like, why it happens, and how to manage it. Neurologist Kate Petheram joins us to explain the science behind the symptom, and we hear from people living with MS who share their personal experiences and tips for coping with this unwelcome embrace.Episode NotesThe MS Hug - info from the MS Trust: mstrust.org.uk/a-z/ms-hug MS Pain - info from the MS Trust: mstrust.org.uk/a-z/painStream for MS - Fundraising challenge from MS Trust: mstrust.org.uk/get-involved/fundraising-and-events/ms-trust-exclusives/streamforms
