Myofacial Pain Syndrome

I am in the early phases of Myofascial Pain Syndrome, after lifting a heavy box in early September, 2024. My pain doc ordered 'manual' PT, which seems to be working slowly (home exercizes, PT twice weekly). Pain is in the pelvic areas, legs, all the way down to my feet, both sides. Will receive cortizone shots in the SI area tomorrow, so let's see how these might give me temporary or permanent relief. I must say that pain seems to be lessening gradually. Still hard to climb stairs and rise up from sitting. Taking 600 mg Gabapentin daily for peripheral neuropathy in feet, but no pain there. Tylenol for Muscle Pain also seems to help.

@jrayk agree, it is a pesky problem…I’ve had some for a long time, but patience pays off--PT, exercises, walking and sessions with an excellent osteopath/MD do help… I use Topracin, heat and Tylenol, and the occasional pain patch. Wish you all good luck..hang in there !
