Have you talked to your doc yet about this? I fullly understand asking
the TM'ers first - they know more about it. But surely
your doc can come up with a reason for this. If you find out, please let
us know, and I hope it never happens again.

I too have banding but I also have something else similiar but more painful
that happens from time to time and I don't understand it. Lately it has
increased. It generally starts in one ankle and the sole of the foot and
runs up my leg to my spine. It hurts one time and hurts so bad that I don't
even realize that it just happened. I don't know what it is. I had it
happen this time last year when I would stand and look down. It would hit
my back of the neck and run down to my feet. Then I would feel like I was
stranding on an electric grid for a little while. Latelky the souls of my
feet have been hurting - soar all the time. I am up right now with pain in
souls of both feet. What causes this?

I, too, have banding, but it has lessened over the 8 years I've had TM. It
was extremely painful for the first few years, but now I only have pain
below my right breast at night. My hands are paralyzed, and I can't unhook
my bra so sometimes I have to sleep with it on, and that really hurts--I
try to go to sleep asap! Lyrica helps me a lot with the banding.
~I've got that banding feeling,
ohohoh, that banding feeling
I've got that banding feeling
And it's not gone, gone, gone
It's not gone, gone, gone ohohohohoh!~
LOL
Have a wonderful day!
Priscilla

Hi Jude,
It's so good to see you posting. It's been too long and we've missed you.
I'm getting pretty sick of this banding too. And I've had the same thing
with the breathing. What's up with that?? The first time it happened I was
actually a little scared. If I would mind my P's
and Q's and not try to do too much in one day, ALL of my aches and pains
would be more manageable.....well, maybe
love,
Linda

Hi Jeanne,
The banding has been exactly the same for me. It has been with me since
day one and starts underneath my breasts and goes all the way around my
abdomen. When it gets real bad, it continues downward until I feel
completely enveloped by it. Sometimes it hurts so badly it hurts to even
breathe.
I don't let TM or anything get me down, but I am beginning to feel angry,
after seven years. I am pissed because I cannot work in the garden and go
places without it being a big deal to get dressed, fix my hair and
sometimes put on make up so the pain doesn't show so badly. I was told
that I looked old when I am in pain...by a sweet 14 year old boy. "Thank
you very much".
For the constipation problem, for years I have used Fish Oil capsules, one
per day and I get them from the health food store or my pharmacy. They
work like a dream. And I have the kind of bowel that moves the poop down
to "the vault", but will not push it out, so I have done digital removable
for ever and ever. It's not fun, but we need to do what we need to do...
Love and Prayers,
Jude

The banding came on immediately with the TM and has never left. Without
the meds, it is excruciatingly painful and just heads south to my toes.
Funny how you can hurt so bad and 'not feel'??? Explain that to someone??

Those of you who got that banding feeling do you all just have TM or did
you also get subsequently diagnosed with MS too? And if you did
experience the banding feeling, did you experience it at the beginning of
your TM (or MS) journey or somewhere down the road? :-)
Just wondering if TM'ers get the banding feeling or is it only those that
get MS too. I had it at the start of my TM but it went away after a month
or two. I had a very mild case of TM and as of yet not diagnosed with MS.
Thanks!
