Re: Walking Assistance- Rick

[Guest guest]

I do natural protein and I do only eat Tuna and fish, nothing else. I am trying

to supplement and do everything I can to be healthy while doing this.I just have

a massive problem with muscle knots, and they do not go away. EVER. They led to

numbness before (they thought I had MS!) Actually I have been looking for

trigger point injections, it seems doctors around here only do 1 or 2 of them. I

get them done in my buttocks now.They upped my OxyContin dose by 30MG/day

because I just can't sit/walk like this anymore.

I do appreciate the advice

Lessman, he is awesome. Also I am vegan/vegetarian. Also I'm 5'9 and 138lbs, so

I am not overweight.I have all these knots all over my legs on top of the damage

done by the TC (burning, electrical pain).

> I'm very happy all of that helped you and you are feeling much better, I wish

these things would work on me. My legs just hurt like hell, in fact it was so

bad yesterday I was not able to work, just sitting in my cube trying to breathe,

my dose of OxyContin was upped by 10Mg x3 day yesterday because of the pain. It

was a 7 scale and has been 6-8 the last 10 days.

Hi ,

I am sorry you are having so much pain. I have to wonder if some 'real'

protein might help. We have our own chickens fed non-gmo grain and feed.

I eat 3 large or 4 small ones a day for protein and usually 4-6 oz beef,

pork, fish, or poultry. I totally respect your decision to be

vegetarian, there are many levels and I do not know what level you are,

but please do some research about it on those web sites I mentioned. I

very well could be lack of protein is contributing to your pain. There

are protein supplements but I have no experience with them. If you

choose to try any please be sure they are natural and not from

genetically modified sources such as soy.

I must have missed it before, are the muscle knots what cause the pain

and difficulty walking? Many years ago - maybe 5 to 8, have to check my

records, my right calf was knotted up, painful, and spastic. My

physiatrist shot some botox in it, lasted ~90 days. We did this on and

off for a few years. Now just sometimes knotted, but tolerable. Gets

that way from sitting too long, sitting on hard chair, or sitting in a

recliner. Anything that puts pressure on my sacrum. Now I just quit

sitting or change positions.

Yes- myofascial pain, brought on by " central sensitization " - other symptoms-

light/noise tolorance, increase in pain, all over sensitivity, can't stand

cold. My skin in general feels bruised. If my cat sits on me (3lbs) I scream.

Have them everywhere- head (10+) face (30-35), collarbones, breasts, arms,

fingers.. Tummy, bikini line, thighs (bad) buttocks (bad) ... Knees/calves

bad... Toes.

All of that
