Welcome Sheri (Lauren's mom),

I know you must be worried about your little girl. I guess that's a mother's job to worry.

myofascial pain is stubborn but manageable. For my myofascial problems I found PT, myofascial release education and techniques helped me tremendously. I don't like dealing with it, but I know what to do.

Here is a list of things I've tried and gotten satisfactory relief from. muscle relaxers, Advil Liquigels, yoga, aqua therapy, Kinesio tape, LED and infrared treatment pads, TheraCane, Miracle Balls, stretches, water-water-water, vitamins, good nutrition, less stress/relaxation techniques. I also found that keeping my muscles fleece warm helps tremendously-turtlenecks seems to be too tight-I guess a bigger size might work. I seldome get it but I think a good night's sleep would help tremendously. Simple fixes but requires discipline.

I would be happy to share detailed info about my experiences if you want to ask specifically about any of the above.

Jo*mar should be along shortly with some good links for you
