My lesion is at C-5,6. My banding is from my chest all the way down
including my feet. I guess it is all "banding" as my feet feel all squeezed
and "bound" up. It is worse some times than others. Especially when I
exert myself such as trying to walk fast, under stress, etc. I have come
close to wondering if I was going to have trouble breathing as my chest was
being "squeezed" but never got to that point.
It will be 2 years in April that I was "hit" with TM and the banding has
not lessened. I have not taken any meds on a regular basis, but have valium
that I take usually just when I have spasms.
Can anyone suggest what medicine would help with the banding? I have to
take anymore than I really need but sometimes wondering if I really need to
live with this.

I have the banding and my lesion is at C4, much higher than most.

I'm curious now. I'm learning that not everyone has this 'banding'. So
does it depend on where the lesion is? Mine's at T6 - T8, and the
tightness I
feel is just below my rib cage. Do the locations of other TMer's banding
depend on where their damage is on the spinal cord?
