"Spasticity is a condition in which certain muscles are continuously 
contracted. This contraction causes stiffness or tightness of the muscles . . 
." 
Thanks for your response, Louise.  That's how I understood spasticity.  So what 
I feel in my legs, ankles, feet is definitely spasticity.  From a logical 
standpoint, it seems that extra magnesium might help relax the 'contracting', 
but it doesn't seem to - at least not on an immediate basis - but maybe over 
time. 
The remaining question is whether or not what we think of as banding that 
occurs on the trunk area is essentially the same thing - i.e. caused from 
continuously contracted muscles.
