Chronic painful muscle knots, widespread

1k194,
Yes, I’ve had the same type of muscle knots for years. I’ve tried so many treatments. The last thing I tried that worked was PT with a good therapist, who used various techniques, specifically dry needling. I was shocked! She got my lower body back in good shape. Now, I need help with my arms.

I saw all kinds of specialists years ago and had tests, but never got a diagnosis. I’m still searching, but it could be anxiety. I’m not sure. There are a number of conditions it could also be. I’m awaiting diagnosis from a neurologist. Trying not to go down the rabbit hole.

Anxiety was my worst enemy- yes I have a condition but I was running anxiety in the background all day every day. I was a Gordian knot. I take a low dose of benzo before bed. I still have cramps etc but those knots from hell are taking a nap for now and I’m grateful

Does dry needling really work? How many sessions did you see results? I tried 2 sessions separately but 1 st session gave me spasm on my SCM…
