@trs Just curious have you tried enzymes serrapeptidase (Biomedix Labs) and nattokinase (Drs. Best)? I had a lot of stiffness in whole regions of my body and over time it subsided. My thinking was, deposits of fibrin / other proteins may have irritated nerves. These enzymes may help get rid of these "adhesions". It worked for me. Got rid of plantar fascitis, phlebitis, and general glute stiffness. Just wondering. The counter-indication is if you are on blood thinners already or have a blood disorder. Otherwise, these might be worth a try. PM me if you want more specifics.
