Years ago during a session of pt I was told I had knots that I needed to break up in my trapezius muscles. As a way to do this at home it was recommended I use a theracane. I now wonder if all the kneading and crunching of my traps actually hurt more than helped my TOS. The thought of grinding plastic into entrapped nerves seems pretty damaging.

Any thoughts? Just worried about others being subjected to more pain as a result of bad advice. (I'll mention again that I've been in chronic pain for over thirty years. Thirty years of Harvard-educated docs not knowing what caused my pain and dismissing it as the beginnings of arthritis,...or stress. Ugh.)
