I agree Kelly, thats why I didnt like it being dismissed. I had a friend who had the heparin injection, with no success, but If I were you, I would give it a shot. We are all different, and react differently to treatements. Inflamation plays such a big part of tos, if that can get undercontrol, I think you will manage better. As long as the muscles remain in spasm, you will have inflamation, its all about finding that "one thing" that will bring them out of spasm.
What have you got to lose to try?

My thinking has changed on "what have I got to lose." Over time I've tried things that have made me worse (PT, surgery, Deep Tissue Massage, to name a few) and I've done lots of things that have cost me money and had no impact (thyroid, acupuncture, etc, etc.). So I'm more cautious about trying new things. But I'm at a loss what to do otherwise, so I may try it because I have no other bright ideas.

Take care,
Kelly

How did you fare with this, just curious?
