Re: Secondary Diagnosis- myofascial pain syndrome

My understanding is that MPS is more of a localized phenomenon of Fibromyalgia.

Treated the same either way. I really hope the trigger point injections help. I

have three friends with Fibro and they get good (albeit temporary) relief from

those injections So hopefully relief is on the way for you! YAY!

Well, I went to the doctor today and they are now convinced I have myofascial

pain syndrome.

Anyone else suffer from this? Since the massage has not worked I am scheduled

for trigger point injections (a consult) on Tuesday, then I am looking at PT

again.

I do feel better knowing what this is.

Hmmm, I stand corrected after doing a search on it. Was going by what my friends

had told me but evidently the " knots " and inflammation are more MPS not Fibro.

Odd though, they all three have knots so maybe they have MPS & Fibro, seems they

overlap and are seen together frequently.  Anyway...glad they listened to you

and are figuring it out and trying to get you some relief! I know there is a

certain amount of relief that comes just from that alone When I finally got

my PNE diagnosis I was so relieved (emotionally I mean) as I had been diligently

searching, seeing docs etc for over 4 years with no results other than rolling

eyes and people telling me I was hormonal or geting old or crazy or whatever

they wanted to call me since they couldnt figure out what was wrong. Once I got

to the right doc, he knew immediately what was wrong! It was a big sigh of

relief!  Congratulations

Dead on actually. I'm surprised I didn't find it earlier!

She is pretty sure it's not Fibro because I have it radiating and knots. Also

it's relieved when I change my pattern (on weekend/travel) and I don't have

classic " flare ups " .

Ah yes, you have PNE, which is what they thought I had!

I was looked at like an insane person for a long time.

I do feel a bit more in control now, at least I can really try to control this

now
