- I have a close family member that I believe has major myofascial pain in addition to other back issues. We are looking for a doctor/clinic in the St. Louis, MIssouri area who specializes in myofascial pain. Any suggestions? Any help would be...
- I found a good article (link below). The first section is about fibromyalgia and the second is about myofascial pain. it discusses many perpetrating factors. http://www.painpoints.com/patients/downloads/aim_revmyofascialpain_gerw05.pdf
- As for the bad news, I was officially let go from my job today because I was not able to return to work full time. My husband is a student and the only income we have is mine so it is going to be tough.. but for the good news.. Today is the first...
