Hi - let me ditto what Anne said... You've heard the saying the lord helps those who help themselves... It very much applies here. The drs don't tell you everything, and they don't often tell you what will help minimize the damage or that this stuff you may have to seek out yourself. Take a few sessions of the massage, the you should know how to do it yourself. Good luck... It does eventually get better, but slowly.
