You're falling into the classic trap of thinking doctors know everything, but sorry to say that's not even close to true. Most doctors know next to nothing about myofascial pain (even many that really should). I've seen multiple cases of mobility impairment and chronic pain that even well a respected orthopedic surgeon thought required surgery be corrected by aggressive bodywork, including trigger point myofascial release and dry needling.

That doesn't mean you're MORE likely to get the answer from a layperson -- it's still much more likely that your doctor got it right. > corrected by aggressive bodywork, including trigger point myofascial release and dry needling. It was corrected, but that doesn't mean those techniques are what corrected it.
- zbentley 7y agoI am glad you found a diagnosis and treatment. It is good to research and seek diagnosis and treatment. But that's not what GP is saying. GP is saying that associating diagnosis with resolution is a recipe for disappointment and wasted effort. Given our current abilities and the state of the art, finding a cause is not possible for many people, period. It is great that some people find a cause. It is also great that some people turn hard work into millions of dollars. That does not mean that it is a reasonable expectation for others--in fact, it is a harmful one, that obviates or distracts from more constructive alternatives, which GP suggested.
