If I get a massage ,they have to use only the palm of their hand...lightly, and use no fingers on my body...a open palm used lightly feels wonderful...I can feel my body relax..and like the nerves settle down with light gentle touch..and heat helps me relax also

Only certain times when I get a massage it has to hurt for it to feel better for me. Like sometimes my husband has to really work out a knot. Yes I cry, take deep, deep breaths for just a few minutes. It's sometimes to only thing that gives me a little relief. Hugs and Prayers

When I was 1st diagnosed in 1998, I went for a deep tissue massage which was recommended for my pain. I couldn't move for two weeks. I haven't had a massage since 😰

Same for me you can give me a massage on my lower back and back and legs but just barely touching between my shoulder blades or my shoulders and it feels like it's a burning sensation and it hurts so bad

Wow you wrote my story. My “button” is lower spine and I have literally falling to the ground because someone brushed their finger against my shirt and my shirt touch that area and down I went people think I’m crazy they find it so very hard to understand I even have to tell the pain doctor to put me to sleep before she touches my bag it’s not the injections that I’m afraid of her it’s her touching my back are clean in the area for the injections i’m so sorry you have this problem too but I’m so glad I’m not the only one
