Chronic muscle tension following drug abuse
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hello!
I am 59 years old and I have been suffering from chronic problems for over 30 years, I have tried many scientific or alternative treatments and I need your suggestions. Because I really do not know what to do!
When I was young (between 22 and 26), I was distressed and abused tranquilizers, sleeping pills, muscle relaxants. I took up to 5 times the maximum recommended doses for 4 years. It took me a year and a half to detox.
Since the age of 26, I no longer consume drugs or alcohol. But since that time, my muscles are tense and painful almost constantly.
Doctors and neurologists say there is nothing to do.
I followed two psychotherapies in case the cause was psychological. But that had no effect. (And I do not feel particularly anxious anyway)
The treatments that help me the most are: supplementation of 2000 mg of lecithin a day, Acupuncture (once or twice a week), relaxation techniques, soft gymnastics, and especially warm bath accompanied by self-hypnosis the evening before going to bed.
But these treatments do not cure me, they only reduce the pain and tension in my muscles. And that has hardly changed in 30 years. I am really tired of this constant pain.
Have an idea of what I could or should do? Any idea will be really appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance! 😃

Hello Marco.
There are some ways to get help other than prescriptions and it sound like your doing things right from what I've read.
I would strongly recommend going back to step one and start with family doctor. (bring in all your notes from daily things that have been bothering you so he can accurately due blood works etc. as needed or refer you to other doctors to help.
Lastly, I went on Social Security Disability last year and it has save me from being in debt to others which helped my depression which helped a lot.
HOPE this helps. i can tell you a bit more later and the things I've done that work.
