    Hi,

    I read your article and can't believe that after 15 years I finally have read a complete explanation of this condition.  I have never found in all my research to date, any information at all about the fascia and the knotting of the tissue.  I have had progressive growth of knotty fibrous painful and tender tissue over the years, over the ribs, in the arm pits, on my arms, back, and along many long bones and my Dr. has never had an explanation of what it could be.  I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and have multi-factorial DDD and severe stenosis in the lumbar and cervical spine.  I have been treated for the many causes of my chronic pain and work very hard to maintain mobility.  It is just good to finally find an explanation for the fibrous growth and I thank you very much for your excellent article.

    Post too small to read.

     

    I am dealing with long term fibro/myofascial as well as a more recent implosion of 2 vertebra in my thoracic spine, 7 & 11.  Wore a body brace for 3 mo. One complicates the other. Yipes.

    I'm sorry about the post being so small scripted. I'll do better in other post's. Sorry People's.

      I also have a bad back. I've sprained my back 3 times & have degeneration & arthritis in my spine. Pain sure does leave a person rather down. But I try 2 make the most of life. Big Smile
