Dry needling in addition to myofascial release has helped me a lot. The trick is finding really good practitioners. On the fourth try I got a great PT that does dry needling. The 3rd myofascial release Expert level was the trick for me. Unfortunately sometimes the best ones aren't covered by insurance but myofascial release practitioners train you to do a lot on your own. Just suggestions. Doesn't get rid of all the pain but 30-40% reduction for months at a time can help.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
I have visited a myofascial release practitioner for a series of treatments in the first half of 2022, and sadly, did not notice great relief.
Perhaps coincidentally, one of her treatments preceded by a very short interval a GI bleed.
In retrospect, this may have been the earliest signal that my pancreas was starting to malfunction. So was this a good result?
I'm not sure, although I do know that I never enjoy being hospitalized; this admission followed the development of hematochezia with a very high white count which the doctor who saw me in the emergency room felt could be a serious infection at risk of becoming septicemia.
