I have Myofascial pain and have just finished 6 weeks of physical therapy sessions in which I do self Myofascial release exercises, strengthening and exercise, mostly at home. I take a daily antidepressant, Ibuprofen 2 x a daily, and ambien for sleep. I work full time as a Rsp teacher and am tired every day. The exercise helps some but spend my afternoon and evenings in pain. Any suggestions to help me feel better?

I have myofascial pain as well. I take Lyrica, Flexeril to help relax the muscles, Vicodin for pain, and Ambien for sleep. I just started pain management last week, where he gave me injections in the trigger points and an epidural in my mid-back area. It really seems to be helping
. Where is your myofascial pain located at?

I have pain all over, hands,feet, upper,middle and lower back, buttocks, arms and legs. Even in my face! I am reading a book called, "the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook," by Clair Davies and trying to figure out where my trigger points are. I am also looking for a trigger point therapy specialist to help me out.

Any good pain management doctor should be able to find your trigger points. The one piece of advice that I would give you about pain management is that you have to focus on one section at a time. It takes time but it is worth it in the end.

My rheumatologist is going to find my trigger points when I see him this month, finally after 4 months, and may do trigger point injections. I am exercising, stretching, and self Myofascial therapy with a foam roller and feeling like I am going to be able to get better. Thinking positive!
