Tnx Jennifer Interestingly, aware that after 11+ mo of low back pain, b/c, as a 3X MRSA surgical loser, I'm uber-concerned the source of my pain is MRSA or FAR less so, my surgically related L4 nerve tweak and/or the common, posterior incision damage to related deep back muscles/tendons. Recently, my experienced PT/massage person has focused on this deep tissue, low back/buttocks area...I think - without naming it or saying this may be the cause. I will pass this on to her with the hope hope...before I go back to Mayo/Jax for my 1 yr check - this time predicated by all three imagery diagnostic tools.
BTW Is your connection thru MAYO JAX or ??? Neal B.

@india65 Neal, I am a Mayo Rochester patient. I had a cervical spinal fusion 5 years ago there, and I returned to Mayo Rochester for surgeries for an ankle fracture in the last 2 years. I started myofascial release with my physical therapist probably ten years ago for thoracic outlet syndrome and I have done it on and off since then and it really helps me. MFR has helped me recover from my surgeries by releasing the tight scar tissue. Infections and surgeries will both cause inflammation. That's a good question to ask if MRSA can leave scar tissue in the body. Surgery will create scar tissue that also affects the fascial layers, and when that gets stuck and can't move, it can cause pain as well as dehydrated tissue. You could also ask your surgeon about myofascial release. They may not be familiar with it, but if they are you would be able to ask if they thought it could benefit you.
How did you like Mayo Jacksonville?
