Myofascial Pain Syndrome Support Group
Myofascial Pain Syndrome (or MPS) is a term used to describe one of the conditions characterized by chronic pain. It is associated with and caused by "trigger points" (TrPs), sensitive and painful areas between the muscle and fascia. The symptoms can range from referred pain through myofascial trigger points to specific pains in other areas of the body. It may be related...
That is what I hope this is. In the last week the pain has really ramped up. Yesterday standing in my aunt's patio at dusk I felt a pain in my inner left thigh, a really sharp superficial pain. I went home and massaged and massaged it. I think I need to stop because the area is getting inflamed. There are also lesser sharp pains on the outside of this hip and the other, plus a bunch of other places where pain pops up.
I have going to the Watsu massage once a week and I am surprised at how effective it is. It is bringing much more mobility to my spine, and thus affects all the bones that radiate from the spine. My left hip is continuing to descend from where it was hiked up high for so long. So, I hypothesize, the way the weight of my torso pushes on my leg has changed so the thigh muscles are in a sort of panic.
Wishful thinking? I am going to see my new pain management doctor today, but I doubt he will be any help. I just need for him to prescribe medications.
Oh, and I cannot use my flector patches because I had prolotherapy several weeks ago and you are not supposed to use anti-inflammatories after that. Ouch.

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.

"don't be a hate hole" has been one of my recent mantras which seems to be escaping my mouth more and more often. it emerges when i am faced with the endless list of chores i would rather not deal with. insurance. head lice. bureaucracy. in-laws. the list goes on and on and on and on, ad infinitum.reality checks requested. am i making sense?"ever'thin they is but loving leaves a rust on your...
I do the flow motion (think of your body in the water moving) to help the muscles relax naturally.
Hope this helps.
In what part of your body did you have prolotherapy?
Still feeling the severe pain in the left inner thigh. And all the other wandering pains. I go for Watsu tomorrow. I am interested to see what that does.
