@loriesco Hello Lorie, thank you very much. I have heard one doctor mention MFR, (he is a DO), after I saw him right after my surgery for an issue most likely caused by the catheter. This doctor had seen me for less than 5 minutes and told me everything I had learned about my body over the past two years. I have scoliosis (right-hand C-curve) and a twist in my spine, and my right hip sits higher than the left. He saw all of this as I was standing there fully clothed, so that was very impressive. If there is no change after another week from the epidural, I will be contacting this DO regarding MFR.

@marcd2k I have exactly the same! The MFR person will straighten you out. He will relax the muscles pulling/tugging attaching to your misaligned spine. You might need to try a few. I pay out of my pocket because the guy is really good. Your muscles glue together and they must be unglued to stop pulling. Sometimes the pulling on the lower back effects the muscles opposite the spine in the shoulder blade area.
The epidural is okay but this is a BETTER solution because it will really get your body into better shape and you can be more active again. good luck. Go for a while! I always say it's a painful massage!
