Never, never, never give up! They say the more you move (don't go rock climbing or nothin'), the muscles loosen and get used to that movement loosening those muscles a little at a time. This develops more stability. Again, I hate it that you're in pain. We can be sisters in pain. No that sounds horrible. Sisters in recovery! You can private message me if you want to connect by text or whatever. I always have time between clients to help. Have a good weekend!

Never took a pain medicine stronger than Ibruprofin ,don't have and never did have any pain associated with this insane muscle tension except from a chronic tension headache which is tolerable and when I stand my back muscles contract to where I feel my back will break so I sit back down and that's gone ! No one including my neurologist,seems to have an answer ,but I don't give up and keep hoping I may find one ! Thanks for responding .

1 ReactionI pray you find this course Is highly effective. You're in my thoughts!
Guess what ,no pain associated with this insane muscle tightness ! Tension headache is tolerable and the back only hurts when I stand and it varies from severe to tolerable ,so if it's severe I sit back down and it's gone ! So as far as exercise I have a treadmill next to my chair and thy to do 5 minutes a day as I have a handle to hold on to ,but the most I have been able to do was a few times 12 minutes ! Probably not a factor ,but I am a thin 135# ! Thank you for responding and in almost 4 years no one not even 2 neurologists have been able to help!
Did I miss something? What course am I following? Did you suggest something ? Arnie.
I'm sorry, course of treatment, treatment direction.

Yeah I asked about it , sorry !
No problem, Suzz.
In the nearly 4,years ,one thing I have found is that there is no treatment,unless someone on here knows of one? My hope is to find something,anything to help make this bearable as now it is not because it's worsening at a faster rate than ever!
