MDJunction to me

"I have been struggling with Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, Anxiety, Post traumatic Syndrome for quite some time and pretty much going it alone. I stumbled across MDJunction by accident. I stayed in the shadows and just watched for four days and then I joined, feeling relieved and excited to have found a safe place with alot of folks that I could relate to . It's proove to be medically and emotionally
helpful to me and now I can't go a day without coming in at least 4 or five times a day! I Love my family here.

Does anyone know the criteria for determining muscle VS nerve pain. If it is indeed nerve pain, then why does deep tissue massage help? Also if it's nerve pain than why do muscle relaxants work so well. Just wondering...

My opinion only: The muscle relaxants and the deep tissue massage both relax the muscle off of the effected nerve. The nerve can then have its space without the pressure of the muscles pushing on it.
