Looking for help with radiation fibrosis; Tips?

I'm fighting the restricted mobility from fibrosis with daily excercises but it's a losing battle, bit by bit. Far worse, has been the pain down the back of my neck on both sides. After following leads from this forum, and my own research, I found the Brigham and Women's Pain Management Center in Chestnut Hill, MA. The physician administered trigger point injections, one of several options she said is available. She told me to give it two weeks or so but my patience has me evaluating the situation daily. Today is day eight following treatment. It is the first day, in I can't remember how long, that I walked the dog pain free in the morning. I'm afraid family and friends are getting weary of listening. Best of luck to us all.

Hey ... hear you.
Best is to tell yourself and feel good that you did your best (in looking up and having trigger point injections) in managing the fibrosis.
I had nasopharyngeal IV treatment in 2006, and diagnosed with severe neck fibrosis, dysphagia, dysarthria, etc, etc in mid 2020 - and to this day, am still trying to find treatments that might help.
Take a day at a time - take care!
