About half way better from my worst point 18 months ago, but progress has stalled cause of some chronical pain I have been dealing with after an extraction.
I cant be sure if i definitely have MPS but i get the symptoms after exercising. I can't lift relatively light weights and the next day i can get intense pain in my joint and until i release the muscles around it I'm in excruciating pain
no joke u might have saved my life i tought for several years i had tmj but this is the condition i have, now i know what now and will do everything to get better. question can Myofascial Pain be forever or will it go away if i do all these things
Myofascial pain is still poorly understood. It really depends on what the cause is, but if the trigger points can be released through a multimodal approach + trigger point injections, they can stay away for a LONG time, possibly forever.
I've been suffering from low back pain for 8 straight years. Tried everything with 0 progress. MRI only shows muscle spasm, so the dr suggested it's MPS and injected me with lidocaine and other stuff. Didn't help. Any suggestions on what should I do next?
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I cannot give medical advice over the internet. Please seek the advice of your trusted health care provider. Best of luck!
Try to find a person who knows Myofecial and trigger point spots and massage it it’s very hard massage painfull but 100% garantee you feel better after 20 sessions I don’t think we have it in USA people who do that you probably need to go to Russia or Ukrainian there are some and helped a lot of people

Please stop with the misinformation. Dry needling is the simplest and mot effective way to treat myofascial trigger points. Everything is just complicating the matter
I agree needling is effective. But to tell people that's all that needs to be done is dishonest. Needling + exercise therapy is more effective than needling alone.
@@JeffreyPengMD i am not implying that needling is the only thing that needs to be done. I am using several premises. Dry needling is the gold standard for treating myofascial trigger points. Myofascial trigger points cause chronic pain / wind up and the spread of pain . If treated early this can be prevented. Stretching and strengthening only makes the trigger point worse. Most do not get out of what dommerholt would describe as the "pain-phase". Myofascial Trigger Points Then and Now: A Historical and Scientific Perspective Jay P. Shah, MD, Nikki Thaker, BS, [...], and Lynn H. Gerber, MD While the etiology of MPS and the pathophysiology of MTrPs are not yet fully understood, some investigators are suggesting that treatments should focus not only on the MTrP, but also the surrounding environment (e.g., fascia, connective tissue, etc.)36,54. The biochemical contributors to pain are very important. The role of muscle, fascia, and their cellular components are also important factors to both MPS and the formation of the MTrP. This thinking has led clinicians to try to reduce the size of the MTrP, correct underlying contributors to the pain, and restore the normal working relationship between the muscles of the affected functional units70. According to Dommerholt, all treatments fall into one of these two categories or both: a pain-control phase and a deep conditioning phase. During the pain-control phase, trigger points are deactivated, improving circulation, decreasing pathological nociceptive activity, and eliminating the abnormal biomechanical force patterns. During the deep conditioning phase, the intra- and inter- tissue mobility of the functional unit is improved, which may include specific muscle stretches, neurodynamic mobilizations, joint mobilizations, orthotics, and strengthening muscle71
EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSING THEIR DIET
An Anti inflammatory diet helps me more than anything
Could you please share your diet?
@@kit2356 I’m doing a Candida diet I eliminated almost carbs and starches, sugar, caffeine, grains and gluten and so much more…
OMG! I thought I was going crazy when going for a fast walk or jog decreased my neck and face pain. Absolutely wild! 🤯

WOW! Thanks for the good information.
You're welcome!
Thankyou soo much for this ❤
CExercising kills my body, i have mayifacial syndrome, and exercise makes me feel worse😊
I cant be sure if i definitely have MPS but i get the symptoms after exercising. I can't lift relatively light weights and the next day i can get intense pain in my joint and until i release the muscles around it I'm in excruciating pain
When i do any type of resistance training my muscles become unmovable and crunchy.
After acdf several levels i got trigger points. I got two steroid injections. The first helped alot. Biut nervous about steroids. Opinion please
Hey doc does sauna can also contribute to cure myofascial pain? If yes how frequently each week?

it may not be MPS. If it is MPS, technique of trigger point injection matters a lot as said by Doctor Peng. best to consult another doctor
Try myorelaxants or antidepressants, hot bath, fix sleeping issues. Check hair for vitamins and minerals.

All exercises make it worse. My physio doesn't understand. Any very light band rows, rear delt exercises cause bad pain for days afterwards
Could you perhaps create a RUclips on facial massage ?
Anything you are interested in particular about facial massages?
@@JeffreyPengMD Gua sha and lymphatic massage.
Does stretching and resistance training help dissolve muscle adhesions/trigger points? Eventually make them go away?
Hey doctor i have a trigger point in my left back , i want to know if is it ok to go to the gym ?
