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...
So I went to see my only doctor who really understands my condition yesterday. He did a lot of poking and prodding and told me that my sacrum is now stable. The prolotherapy injections he did in my right sacroilliac ligaments really worked. I have had only a couple of brief returns of the feeling I used to have there of deep aching pain. He said I do not need more injections in my left sacroilliac ligaments. thank goodness, because they are really creepy.
But I continue to have pain which always comes and goes in other areas, sometimes quite harsh. He called them transient pains, which was amusing to me. He thinks they come from my body reacting to my new alignment.
He says the achiness I feel a day after Watsu massage is because it relaxes all the muscles but does not stop them from going into spasm.
I hope that these transient pains go away soon!

Good luck with your transient pains too!

"Prolozone Therapy is an injection technique similar to prolotherapy that uses ozone. The use of ozone causes the joint to heal much more quickly than in traditional prolotherapy. This is because ozone is a highly reactive molecule and when injected into a joint capsule it is able to stimulate the fibroblastic joint repairing abilities. "
Hmm, I wonder if my doctor knows about it. Well, I hope to get no more of these injections anyway. Apparently I responded well. Some people need repeat injections.
Yes, the injections have been quite effective for me, but my doc uses them for my trigger points. it has easily decreased the number of Trps's by half. I just received my "Self Treatment Guide" by Clair Davies and am diving in to learning to work my own Trp's.
I'm excited for your progress, but it does sound like an unusual area. You're brave :)
