Please help how to heal muscle spasms of the diaphragm. I feel a constricted band around my body that is quite painful. Have had it for a number of days.

Have you recently twisted or sprained your back?

I experienced the same thing after being moved from a gurney to a bed in the hospital. My back was twisted out of alignment.

It was two weeks before I got out of the hospital and was able to get it squared away and take a deep breath. I had to use a "True Back" as I was unable to get on the inversion table.

I tried to tell the doctor but, of course, he wouldn't listen. And I was so happy just to get away from there, get home, get it straightened out and be able to take a deep breath, after two weeks, I didn't care.

The MS hug is a common symptom of multiple sclerosis that can be hard to explain, and can be mistaken for other conditions. With the MS hug, you feel as if you have a tight band around your chest or ribs or pressure on one side of your torso. Some people find that it is painful to breathe.
