Good morning @corkhill1. May I add my welcome to Connect and an opportunity to understand your symptoms and share what in my journey might be helpful. Have you been diagnosed with SFN, small fiber neuropathy? How long since your last massage? Was this physical treatment given by a PT, an OT or perhaps an MFR therapist?
I have two sessions of MFR treatment every week. Sometimes, there is discomfort as fascia restrictions are released, As soon as the restriction is resolved.....the pain releases and I relax. Sometimes the restriction is more difficult and so I head home with some special instruction....sometimes with props or gentle yoga,
Over the last few years I have been able to eliminate standard pain medication by introducing medical cannabis. I use tinctures and topicals of different doses and combinations. I would be happy to share those experiences with you if you have access to medical cannabis, Yoga, every day, is my standard morning activity. My yoga teacher designed the poses for me in response to my neuropathy concerns,
The other helpful activity for me is mindful meditation with guided meditation on Thursdays. I feel my best at the end of these sessions,
May you be safe and protected from inner and outer harm,
Chris
