I was able to find a list and diagram of the trigger points you mentioned, and I said ouch to all. Thanks for that info. I also remembered that my first chiropractor had said many years ago that I have myofascial pain syndrome. I've had pain in my left shoulder off and on for 30 years. When I was living in GA, i found a really good chiropractor who worked wonders on that pain. Several years ago, it got really bad again, so I went to a place called "The Joint chiropractors" The next day after i went, my arm went numb from my elbow down to my hand, and was ice cold. I went to an urgent care, and the PA was stunned that she could see inflammation caused by whatever the so-called Chiropractor had done. I eventually went to my Orthopedist who did an MRI, and he said "Do not ever let a chiropractor near that shoulder ever again. I believe they can help people, but you are not one of them anymore." And just a few years later, i destroyed that shoulder in a fall. And despite 2 years of care and treatment, I somehow hurt it again last month. I was sitting in a doctor's waiting room, and when I got up to go with the Nurse, i had a really painful spasm. And while the pain isn't as bad as it was that day, it still hurts. I told my shoulder orthopedist to just remove the left side of my body and replace it with one that isn't a mess.
