II have had extreme banding since the onset of my TM. Recently, I have had it around my legs and thighs, brought on by two huge dicubitus ulcers on my bum. It is a totally different feeling than spasms.
Spasms feel like tight muscles and banding feels like something is wrapping itself around the area and squeezing tighter and tighter. The pain that goes with it is very bad. Banding happens to me when there is something wrong with my body and it is a sign that I must search for whatever it is. It can be brought on by something as simple as an ingrown toenail to broken bones or pressure sores. It is difficult for me to type on this computer because the desk is too high. My laptop is crashed. But if you have more questions or comments, I will respond eventually. Jude
