Myofascial restriction

[LAJ12345]

I have been experiencing an extremely annoying sensation in the back of my head for over a year now. I wrote about this a while back and I am still not completely right but have made some more improvements since my last post.(see my original post)

I have been from one specialist to another, had mri, cat scan but no one seems to be able to tell me what is the matter with me. All they can come up with is it’s stress or imaginary or hypersensitivity. I have finally been to a chinese medicine expert and have had acupuncture and cupping on the back of my shoulders which has helped quite a bit, then finally massage by the chinese masseuse.

She has performed a diaphragm release on me which has really helped with the tight feeling in the back of my head but now I am locked down and can’t go to see her. I looked it up on google and found these youtube clips. I have started to try these and I am feeling they are very helpful. The weird feeling is gradually reducing. I recommend you try these if you have tightness in the chest, difficulty taking a deep breath or feeling you can’t breathe properly, tight shoulders, stiff neck, feeling of fluid running down the back of your throat, constricted throat, feeling you have a lump or growth in the back of your head.

I continue to think that faulty drainage of the lymphatic system may contribute to some symptoms experienced in PD, and I think stress and anxiety can cause the tightness in the chest which may lead to lower oxygen levels, poor drainage during sleep causing waste products to build up instead of being flushed out.

An early symptom of PD can be anxiety so it is possible the anxiety can be making the condition worse rather than the other way round?

Here’s an earlier post on the glymphatic system.

Here are some techniques for releasing the diaphragm if you suffer from tightness of the chest or breathing difficulties.

As well as the diaphragm I have had some relief from releasing the jaw

Thank you...this is exactly what I've been needing for breathing and diaphragm stiffness.

LAJ just to clarify, it is your husband not you who has PD isnt it? So you have the neck problems, am I right?

[LAJ12345 in reply to Hikoi]

Yes, hubby has PD but I’ve got neck problems. Probably caused by stress over him, and standing for hours hunched over my IPad! Looking for remedies!

Look up TENS units. You can buy one on Amazon. If gives electrical stimulation. You put little pads on the sore spot and it relaxes it.I use it on neuropathy in my feet.

[rideabike in reply to rhyspeace12]

I just bought TENS. Very helpful! Everyone should have a set.

[rhyspeace12 in reply to rideabike]

Yay! I use mine on my numb feet every day now.

[rideabike in reply to rhyspeace12]

I have bladder spasms and it has subsided immensely. Will be using it a lot and so much better priced these days, Amazon.ca, my go to for lot of stuff. I get peripheral neuropathy now and then so will keep that in mind. Take care and stay safe! 😎

I’ve been doing the one with the ball in the back at 7.30 minutes. Wow this is so amazing. It feels like it is pulling plasters off inside my head and it has taken away the feeling in my head that something is pulling on the inside of my eardrum and making fluid build up there. If you are able please give this a go!

🤩🤩🤩

[LAJ12345]

Thanks😊

[LAJ12345]

Aw, I looked it up and they don’t ship to NZ

[rhyspeace12 in reply to LAJ12345]

I'm betting that most any of them in that price range who will ship to NZ will work. Amazon is good about giving you your money back if they don't( if you know how to work your reason for return right. )

Ask me later if you need to. The reviews are usually to be trusted.

[LAJ12345 in reply to rhyspeace12]

Ok thanks

[Goldencbc]

Thank you! I tried the neck release and it worked!!

[LAJ12345 in reply to Goldencbc]

Great, so glad it helped😊

[beehive23]

nice post thanks!

IMO i think it "loops" in the striatum....anxiety provokes fight or flight chemicals and pd has anxiety associated with it as well and it perpetuates a constant or near constant state of adrenaline production, the meds can contribute as well IMO. hang tough. cheers.
