The Shocking Reason Your ‘Nerve Pain’ Isn’t Coming from a Nerve
Most of the time when people experience burning, sharp, shooting, electric or tingling pain the most common diagnosis given to them is they likely have pinched nerves.
Myofascial Trigger point or just Trigger points are a common yet overlooked cause of pain.
Myofascial trigger points are hyperirritable spots in muscles that refer pain along very specific parts of the body. Because these referral patterns often overlap with nerve distributions, it’s easy to assume the pain is nerve-based. For example.
Upper Trapezius / Shoulder trigger points: Refer pain into temple or behind the eye, where its often confused for migraines.
Gluteus medius & minimums / Glutes trigger points: Refer pain down the side of the leg pain mimicking sciatica
Scalene / Deep neck muscles; Refer, tingling, or numbness pain into arm pain mimicking pinched neck nerves.
Forearm trigger points have symptoms resembling carpal tunnel syndrome.
The more you learn about the body the more you see how complicated these pains are and how the root cause of the pain isn’t a single issue but a combination of multiple problems.
