Mayo Pain Rehab Program: Signing off and my comeback afterwards
Chronic Pain | Last Active: Jan 10, 2022 | Replies (63)Comment receiving replies
My local pain management doc put me in touch with a very special therapist, who combines PT, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, stretching and movement to deal with chronic pain. You are right, life is not perfect (and arthritis continues to bedevil my whole body) but now I have a wide variety of coping strategies in my toolbox - none of which is a narcotic. And I always have the option of Mayo's Pain Rehab if we get beyond what I have already learned.

I also have arthritis. I found a wonderful massage therapist who is only 5 minutes from my home in Gulf Shores, AL. He’s very skilled and knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
My daughter had me take a massage appointment she couldn’t make here in Michigan, so found another very talented person to help me. I agree, therapeutic massage can really help!

This is great Sue! It pays off to find the right approach and program. I'm glad you found your tool box of coping strategies, and most importantly, narcotic free! Good for you.
