Myofascial Pain Syndrome - Topic Overview - Health.com

Myofascial Pain Syndrome - Topic Overview - Health.com


Most people have muscle pain from time to time. But myofascial pain is a kind of ongoing or longer-lasting pain that can affect the connective tissue (fascia) of a muscle or group of muscles. With myofascial pain, there are areas called trigger points. Trigger points are usually in fascia or in a tight muscle.


Also, I have what's known as Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome. Which is way worse than this article makes it sound.
