If it is not the muscles being too tight, perhaps it is the nervous system spasming, which in turn affects the muscles. My head and neck have been the most affected as well.
I am sorry you are still suffering. What dose are you on now?

Hi Diandra , Thanks for your reply and nice to hear from you again . You've been very helpful. Like yourself going through bad time. I was on 150mg a day and doc brought me down to 50mg but went into SEVERE PAIN with my neuropathy. Doc put me up again to 75mg ( after ending up at Accident and Emergency, my body is intolerant of most pharmaceuticals)). I feel absolutely terrible ALL over . No doubt you know what it feels like . Si Dysfunction , Degenerative discs , TMJD to name a few. As I say all the old injuries I ever had over my life have all kicked off. Psychologically I think I've adjusted at times , then I go into depression as I can't get away from it . Just a little peace to re group would be good. Doc has faith in Lyrica ( I did not feel like this before) but I'm not sure where I am going with all this. Anyway how are you coping ?. Have you got your big trip to Italy arranged ? You are very brave and put me to shame.
Best regards
Nick
