I have Fibromyalgia Pain, If You or Someone You Know Does, Please Read This About My Day

Any Moms Out There With Fibromyalgia Pain?

Every week for the past few weeks I have been getting a deep tissue massage to help my muscles that feel like a solid piece of wood (symptoms of Fibromyalgia) loosen up. We work on a few areas that are usually causing the most Fibromyalgia pain and making my life really hard to navigate. After the massage, I see my chiropractor for an adjustment. Today, was the first time in all my chiropractor adjustments over the past several weeks that my elbows adjusted. Yup, my forearms are so tight that not only do I have a muscle clamping down on my nerve (carpal tunnel, pinched nerve) I also have recently been diagnosed with tendinitis in my elbow. With the slightest movement I would have a stabbing pain right near my elbow. Well, today the pain was so severe Melanie dug deep on the muscle around this tendinitis (which I also learned today is just inflammation) and I’m pain free from tendinitis as I type this. As for my carpal tunnel, my hand hasn’t gone numb as of yet either since I started typing this post, this just gives you an idea. My hand goes numb still, I’m just noticing that it can go a little longer with out flexing it or stretching it to take the numbness away. Normally I can’t type for longer than a few seconds due to the carpal tunnel. Here it comes now. Err! Break…be back soon.

My elbows and lower back are super tight right now, my neck used to be the most tight part of my body, but as Melanie & Dr.Heidi release my muscles in my neck, other parts of my body start screaming out for help. Deep massage and chiropractic together are transforming my muscles and helping me with my symptoms of Fibromyalgia. Oh it hurts like you know what during the massage, but I feel my muscles letting go, I literally feel it. I feel them relaxing and that freedom, which is so sad because its freedom from myself, from tight muscles, makes me feel lighter, looser, not as numb and not in nearly as much pain. A girl can get used to this, especially a girl in as much chronic pain as myself.

How Can You Get Help For Your Symptoms of Fibromyalgia? read on…

I have been getting deep tissue massages for most of my adulthood. I knew they always brought me relief, but not until I found a truly caring, kinda medical in a weird way, masseuse did I actually find help to take away a significant amount of the fibromyalgia pain. The pain I feel is real, I believe it was brought on by a traumatic, emotionally, physical event in my childhood. My body hurts all over…sometimes even when I’m hugged. First thing you deserve to try, because we all deserve a little less pain in our daily Fibromyalgia lives, find a masseuse like Melanie Boyd or just make an apt with Melanie for those of you close by Doylestown, which is in Bucks County PA. Also, your chiropractor needs to be holistic in the sense that she looks at you as a whole, she talks with your masseuses to figure out how best to treat you. Again if you are close by, make an appointment with Dr. Heidi…if not, ask people around you for professionals like I explain here.

Most importantly, you need to feel like these two professionals are your people…meaning they get you and you trust each other, because a big part of my healing is to allow people into my space, especially my space in my head. I have to trust them, so my body let’s its protector-self down enough so they can get in and work their magic. Meaning, I must trust them enough to close my eyes and say have at me, do whatever you need to do and I take my deep breaths and let it all go, let my body release the muscles, the emotions, the tension…its a physiological journey for me as well as a medical journey and I’m moving right along.

If you need to talk more, comment or email me if you need privacy. I believe in fate. I was meant to find Melanie and Dr. Heidi, I was meant to have a website like this to reach so many of you and I’m meant to help others. Its what makes me most happy. Good Luck to you all!
