I think there is scar tissue but since is along the bikini line I am not sure how to intervene. Thanks hi lauren,

I'm glad this could help you a little...yes I have heard that dehydration can lead to fascia issues, it's a contributor. Lets me research a bit more and I'll send you an email. Hey!

The MPS has largely been ignored by myself & my drs, until today. Having read your articles (1-3) I am convinced that FMS may not be an issue at all, rather, MPS may be the cause of years of pain. I have had recurring plantar fasciitis. Oddly, I am extremely flexible in my legs-even more than any person of my age and weight should be. My biggest issues are in my back, and today, while looking at pics of the back muscles to show my husband exactly where it hurt so he knew where to massage. I was shocked to see that MOST of my issues are in direct correlation with the larger areas of fascia. I'm not entirely sure what this means, it doesn't make sense--the extreme flexibility in the legs with pain in my feet, with severe lack of flexibility/mobility in my torso, giant lumps (more than just your average 'knot' in some areas on my back, etc. Recently (within the last year) I've also started having what I believed was nerve pain in my back (I have it in my feet--dx'd by dr), but now I wonder if that too could be associated with the fascia--if my nerves are being strangled by the lumps and knots or something. So, anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I really, really appreciate your articles. I know they are not designed to dx or treat, but they DID help me to consider something new--and w/a dx that offers no hope, I can only try to find hope by gathering new information for myself. One of the questions I was curious about was if you believe that dehydration, or partial dehydration could lead to fascia issues. And also, can you possibly share some additional sites where I could learn more about treatment, symptoms, etc. about the fascia issues. I'm so hopeful. Thanks!

The best I've read thus far. I've had an MRI for my 2 herniated disks, and been doing PT 2x day, accupressure and icing -- in addition to seeing a rehab doctor. I went from having my entire body inflamed - the epicenter being at the outer knee intersection - and now I have a constant "heavy" feeling on my outer hamstring and depending on how much I move, pain. It's been 6 months of pain and a very slow and painful process. My doctor feels by doing the foam roller I'm re-tearing the fascia so I've stopped doing that and I'm taking a TON of Advil (not a good plan long-term I realize). My PT belives I have an inflamed SI joint- 6 months though?! A few Qs: How long does the healing normally take? Accupuncture - a good idea or ...? Cortisone injection by the SI joint - could this help since they run close to each other? Thanks in advance for your feedback, Jen Thank you for your incredibly informative article!

Mssage nd stretching should help a lot, try ice massage as well. Block of ice up and down the leg. End of the day if it is not released manually it can be done through surgery, however your therapist should be able to help release your fascia manually.... Hope that helps Lauren Hey Tracy,

I think it started when I changed the set up of my keyboard at work. Is stretching my best bet for treatment? It's been a couple of months; do I need to go to a doctor? I haven't tried heat, but ice makes it worse. Thanks! Lauren,

The foam roll would be too difficult for me to do sinc I'm at the "I've fallen and can't get up" stage. Of course I can stretch and have ordered a QI Gong for seniors video, done mostly sitting down. Can you recommend any nutritional products. Also have been told myofascial r elease therapy is good and acupuncture. Of course my insurance doesn't pay for any of this, but that's the story of my life! I have just learned I hve this, probabaly caused by sitting too much.
