Also I live in Western PA.
Hi there, I have been living diagnosed with MSK for about a year, looking back, I think I have had this for many years. THERE IS DEFINATELY PAIN WITH MSK! Don't ever think the pain and complications are in your head. While many complications and pain management problems are similar with many people, from my out point, you may have many symptoms that may be specific just to you, depending on if you have any other health issues. I am still learning, but so far, this is the BEST site for help, advice and friends. Don't give up!
Thank you! I'm not giving up yet! What do you do about your doctors. They will not listen to me about my pain and push me of on other doctors. They tell me that the pain is not from the msk and that my body is addicted to the meds and to go without it. I live in a small town with not many doctors. I'm frustrated!
