Most of the time I gently have to answer, "yes." However, this weekend I was able to tell the woman who asked me that it actually might just be chronic myofascial pain. She was only hurting in her neck and back, not in her lower body at all. I'm going to forward your article to her to reaffirm our discussion.

I am glad to see a comprehensive approach to this complex health problem. Over 90% of my patients over the past almost 25 years, have been patients with chronic pain and fibromyalgia. As a psychologist, my role is to try and help reduce the many secondary stresses that follow from the physical illness/ injury causing the patients long-term pain. A Free 16 page ebook is available from my website www.UnbelievablepainControl.com, which may help you and your patients. My approach to treatment is also outlined in an easy to read book I have just written, Unbelievable pain Control:How to Heal and Recover from Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia. Thank you again for your good work. MIchael MacDonald, Ph.D. Dr. Guarigilia – Thank you for your informative website and articles.
