I've been suffering with Chronic Myofascial pin in my upper back all the way across & the only thing that really stops the pain is if I lay down (I'm not going into that business). I have NOT been to a therapist that specializes in myofascial pain but I do see a LMT every 2 weeks. I take muscle relaxers & Tramadol along with other pain relievers. Help!

Was in a car wreck in Oct. - doct. says I have peripheral neuropathy, possibility of it being crushed nerve. Have been on Lyrica(to rejuvenate nerve-not working), also was given Tramadol(for pain-not working). I'm in pool therapy 3x a week(not working). Doct. has me wearing the AFO brace(so I won't get drop foot). Need pain relieve- and want to know treatment if it is crushed. Thanks/All Have A Good Day!!!

I've had fibromyalgia since 1991 and have been treated with P.T., medications (tramadol, elavil,clonopin, & lorab), stretching, massage therapy (when I can afford it), and some biofeedback. My neck and back are so tied in knots it feels like concrete. My current regiman barely gets me by. I have worked steadily since diagnosed, and done some pretty physical type jobs. I do believe staying active is much better than laying around feeling sorry for myself. It helps me take my mind off of the pain if I keep busy. I couldn't afford to live on disability even if I wanted to, lol.
I have tried tens units, and water aerobics/therepy without any relief.

I am curious about yoga being a possible help to me.
