@bkruppa Myofascial conditions are not likely to cause constant pain. It is often variable. Also, the compression on the nerves isn’t equal to damage. Remove the tightness and you may get partial or full relief. There are stories of people who’ve had pain for years that can be relieved by the proper treatment. Yes, you may never know the source of the pain - but mainly look for what works. Good luck.

Regarding nerve compression vs damage this was a major question that I had to the doctors at the Mayo Clinic. The answer I received was that if the degree of pain varies then most likely it is due to compression whereas if the pain is constant the nerve probably is damaged. My wife's pain can vary from and 8 or 9 to a normal 7 to a low of 2 or 3 so we are hoping that the nerve is compressed rather than damaged which by the way there is no cure for.

This is good news and answers some of the questions we have about variable pain. My wife is making an appointment with a local MFR therapist. I must say that I've received more helpful information on how to move forward with this chronic pain issues than I have with doctors over the past 8 years. Thank you.
