Hi everyone
Im at the end of my tether (just about)! Ive got terrible stiffness and pain in my upper back, shoulders and neck. The muscles around the area feel like rocks and are not responding to massage or regular reiki treatments at all. After massage or reiki there is no reduction in the stiffness of the mucles, or no improved mobility whatsoever although it sometimes helps with the pain. As well as this, my neck and head are in a forward position and there is no way that I can straighten or move them back.
I have been practising yoga regularly for nearly three years now but with no relief or improvement through that either. As well as this I have been depressed lately (maybe because of this). I have been to the Doctors about both issues seperately. All she did was feel my shoulder muscles and suggest I go for a massage. I told her I had and that it didn't help. Then she referred me to the physiotherapist, but from what I gather I can't see this being able to improve my position either.
What has got me mostly is that the Doctor seems to think that there is nothing wrong with me and thet I just need a massage and to relax. I have told her that I do yoga and meditation daily to relax but it doesnt seem to be getting through. What I really want is to find out what it is that is wrong with me so that I can start to sort it out. I am thinking of going to a chiropractic to see if I can get any improvement with that. How can the Doctor act like there is nothing wrong with me when she hasn't even looked at my back and shoulders? Surely you cannot diagnose anyone just by feeling their shoulder muscles through clothing? I really have had enough of this. Anyone who bothered to look at and feel the muscles in my upper back, neck shoulders would be able to tell there was a problem, phd or not. I really despair of Doctors and have no faith in them whatsoever after my experiences of this and other things in the past.
Thanks for listening, does anyone have any ideas?
