Hi Kim,

Haven’t had the band around the ankle but have certainly had it around my left knee. At first, the area felt numb, I didn’t have normal feeling in it from mid thigh to just below the knee. As time went on it got more band like and not so much painful as uncomfortable. I was then not able to move it correctly. I had other sensory symptoms at the time and it was put down to a relapse. I was given IV steroids and it began to get better. Needed physio and about 3 months though until it got back to normal. Hope yours sorts itself out soon.

Hi Kim, haven’t had it around my ankle, but I do get it around my chest, and around my right thigh, when it’s around my thigh it burns like hell, very sore, take care, Jean x

Hi Kim, I have had it around my left ankle, it was like wearing a cement leg warmer. Both my ankles are very wobbly anyway and I too, have had it around my left knee and thigh. Take care,Jo.
