Steve, I know you worked overtime swimming upstream against the standard medical tide. I am soo happy that you've found practicioners that were able to bring that elusive word "RELIEF"! Persistence can pay off!
Was it myofascial trigger point? Treatment can be almost as bad as the problem when first starting. I'm hurting just thinking about it.

Aussie, don't give up! It sounds like you are on your journey, anxiety is the pits and it sure doesn't help anything along the way, does it?
It may take time, but your persistence will pay off in the long run, it's got to!

Good thoughts to both of you - j
