Jeff-
My treatment ended July 1997 for 7.5 years I was in pretty good shape. Now I experience excruiating pain in my shoulders, rotators, back and neck. I get a tingling sensation when your limb is waking up after it has been slept on and is waking up, constantly. I have been to 4 different type of Dr's. for this problem and get no answers! My acupuntarist & massage therapist told me my muscles are like petrified wood. I am currently doing light weight training and stretching excersises and seem to be getting a small amount of relief. I can feel your pain and I am also looking for answers as you are. I have an appt. at the Chicago rehabiliton institue for pain management and hopefully will get more answers.
