I am a 44 year old male and have facial pain. It is in my cheeks (Mainly the left side), burning earaches, sore saliva glands, burning neck pain that shifts around, pains in my left shoulder, arm and wrist and chronic somatic tinnitus (The tinnitus increases with muscle tension and anxiety or if I press or stretch my neck, head and jaw etc). Plus I get sinus congestion, headaches and wandering migraines and pains behind the eyes.
I also have other issues like GERD and IBS which may or may not be related.
Now I read about trigger points and have been poking bits of my body and find there are these sore spots that hurt like hell when I press them (There is one on my left arm just below the elbow on the top of the forearm that hurts like hell right now).
I am thinking a lot of my symptoms are muscle related due to anxiety, stress and poor lifestyle (Lack of exercise and poor diet etc). The tinnitus, fascial pain, neck pain and arm pain etc all seem to point to muscle tension.
I was initially looking into taking up a group activity that involves some form of exercise like yoga. But I also read about trigger point therapy and myofacial release and I think they may help.
Does anyone know of anyone offering these therapies in or around the South East of London area? Otherwise it means a trip to Harley Street in central London. I would prefer a local therapist with a good reputation who I can get to know.
Anyone?
Thanks.
