the reason I ask if my diagnosis is correct is that I dont have constant pain
My injury was 4 weeks ago and diagnosis was one week ago
sweeling seems to be abated some also
fewdalord,

I can relate to your post. Everytime I have to visit my PM doc, he tells me that I will never be cured of this syndrome..get use to my new sedentary life.

I cry everytime, as if it was the 1st time I had heard those words. I keep hoping that this diagnosis is a big mistake, and I can have my active life back. I realize "denial" of the syndrome is not healthy for me, emotionally..but, sometimes..I choose to think that this is just a weird thing happening to me right now and all will be back to normal.

Hope is a good thing;denial is fooling oneself. You are new to this culprit. You will go through stages as if you are grieving..because you are grieving. Please know you have support here, I am here for you anytime.

hugs,
Dew
