Janice, Mine started with severe pain down neck and into shoulder - my problem was at C2. This pain came and went over the next few days as numbness and paralysis crept through my body. I think the pain disappeared after 3 days' intense steroid treatment. It was a little later, while still in hospital, that I became aware of the banding. I remember I told the neurologist it felt like bands of steel gripping me under the skin. Nothing like the original pain. Thankfully, that pain has never returned but the banding remains constant four years later.
