Great article! Thanks so much. Xxx
Interesting article. Thanks. Are you completely over Covid (I hope)?
Me? I haven't had Covid - don't want it either! Life here is fairly much back to normal - but like everywhere else the numbers are rising again, enough to bring back talk of masks being compulsory again. I have no doubt everyone on their jolly holibobs are getting far too up close and personal and careless ...
Looking back to when I presented with bilateral shoulder pain, the doc first tried a muscle relaxant pill, but only steroids sorted it. Sounds like it can be difficult to come to the correct diagnosis. Do the inflammation markers rise with myofascial pain syndrome?
Less so I think - because the inflammatory substances are localised in the muscle fascia and the trigger points rather than being systemic (in the bloodstream) which reaches the liver to trigger the proteins that rise in the acute phase response and gives higher ESR which is partly due to raised CRP.
