Yes, I have heard about Dr. Nathan. However, my injury was in 2009 and scar tissue, etc. make surgery a risky option for me. To boot, I have been that route already at the Mayo Clinic and the Washington University. I am looking for pain relief, and I was glad to hear on this blog about the Myofascial Release. That I will pursue. The concept makes total sense. Thanks for your input.

Good morning @adalwolfa, Wow...you are really digging in to find a tried and true option for pain management. I have already posted about my life with MFR.

Right now my pain is the all-over variety....where one size fits all. It is pretty much all I can do in the morning to drag my body into a hot shower. I then work on the restrictions on my own.

By Thursday when I have my MFR treatment, I have used yoga stretches, a cervical collar for my neck, 4 inch balls to get my spine in alignment, some hands-on movements to help with restrictions and considerable amounts of the appropriate medical cannabis, both topical and tincture.

I may not make it to the introduction of functionally restorative stem therapies. So I will stay active, give back to others and practice mindful meditation to help find joy every day. May you be free of suffering today. Chris
