Yep, the physiatrist referred me to PT for myofascial release and had me download an iPhone app called Trigger Point that I can play with at home if I want. She's also sending me for pool therapy and core strengthening. She thinks that most of my pain is related to myofascial muscle spasm, though.

That's actually (IMO) good news - very good news relative to what else it could be!

Here's hoping it works as well for you as it does for us!
