Q :
I have been diagnosed with MS and I experience a feeling of having bands around my legs. I am a science major and understand the cause of MS but I am curious to what EXACTLY causes these bands.
(physiology)
A :
Banding is a common, but often overlooked MS symptom. It feels like there is something tight around a limb or trunk. The muscles are not actually tight, nor is there any swelling. The sensation of banding is seen in both in MS and spinal cord injury, We therefore assume that the anatomic localization for banding is lesions of the spinal cord. Although the exact physiology is not known, it is likely a form of reduced or altered sensory messaging from the spinal cord to the area of the brain that perceives sensation. Something similar would be the way your face feel ”fat” when you have dental freezing.
