I too have Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome. The best way I have found to describe the pain is its comparable to having a huge muscle spasm in my back (throughoutthroughout my entord back), that does not stop. The most effective treatment, I have found is trigger point injections. My doctor can usually numb my back up. This lasts about 5 to 7 days. The only medication I have found to somewhat effective is a very strong narcotic combined with an anti anxiety medication.
I wish you all the best and please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I have been dealing with this for 20 years now.
