  Subject: [TMIC] RE: banding vs. spasticity


  Interesting.  I've always thought of the tightness around the chest / trunk 
as 'banding', but the tightness in the calves, ankles, feet as spasticity.  Is 
it really the same thing?  If so, then the 'banding' I've felt around my rib 
cage is actually spasticity.

  If this is the case, then I think it answers my original question.  The pain 
I feel UNDER and to the center of my rib cage, is definitely not spasticity, 
and therefore something totally separate from the banding.

  Does anyone know for sure:  DOES BANDING = SPASTICITY?

  Curious Sally, who likes to understand what's going on, even if that doesn't 
change anything  :)
