So about 70% of my pain seems to be caused by pressure and/or motion. For example, lying on a mattress (I’ve gone through about a dozen with no relief), sitting down, the pressure of putting weight on my big toe as I walk as well as the motion of it being bent, if I put pressure on my fingers or they get bent in the act of doing something, etc. The areas that have had pressure on them will then continue to ache long after the pressure has been taken away. And this pressure also seems to make my muscles stiffer. Which is the cause of the rest of my pain. My muscles are all constantly really tight and stretches only help a little bit and massage helps but only for a few hours.
All the medications I’ve tried either don’t work or aren’t worth the side effects. Muscle relaxers help a bit but they make my depression really bad so I only take them once in a blue moon.
Has anyone else experienced this and have any advice? I’m at my wits end in terms of mattresses because I’m so tired of only getting a few hours sleep and waking up in agony
In saying all this, I do fine with hard pressure during a message. The pain feels different and it releases the tightness rather than increasing any aches.
Thankyou
