I tried acupuncture for nearly one year straight. Unfortunately it did not help me. I find gentle massage helps but woukd need to go weekly and that is not affordable for me at this time.

Hello & welcome to the team!

Try & see if your PCP will give you an referal Neurologist or a Rheumatologist. I also agree with Brandy water P.T. I do that as well at least 3x per week atmy local YMCA. I have a Neurologist. I see every 2-3 months she has given me Trigger point up to 15 injections across my neck, back of rib cage, lower back up to 15 with Cortisone (steroid), and with lidocaine. I also see a P.T. twice a week for a 30 minute message on my neck & shoulder area's also see if your PCP will give you a referal for message P.T. that way you don't need to pay out of pocket let the insurance cover it. I dont know your insurance situation, but the least would be a co-pay.

I get really bad knots in my neck & shoulder, I have in my neck & back Degenerative Disc Disease. This medical condition is where the padding between your veribraes disinagrate, and the bones are pressing on each other & nerve endings. I have my entire neck fused with titanium plates & screws.

There are all kind of ways to try new things you need to find one & quick thre is so much up to date treatment I pray you find something. I remeber when I felt just like you when I was first diagnoist with FM.

Big Hugs,
Lisa Anne
