Hi everyone, I have a 70 yo female chronic systemic patient with fibromyalgia, with pain everywhere for 40 years, surgeries on both knees, on toes on both feet, and on right rotator cuff. 1 year ago fell to the floor and damaged her shoulder)
After 4 months of EXTORE, herbal medicine and diet, all pains has gone but the shoulders. Before she couldn't move them without pain, now still have pain under minimal resistence. still difficult to do normal life.
She got an MRI with the next results:
Right Shoulder: Full-thickness tear in supraspinatus tendon with 4-5 cm tendon retraction.
Tendinopathy and partial thickness articular surface tearing in the infraspitatus tendon.
Effusion and synovitis in the glenohumeral joint
AC joint arthritis, subacromial/subdeltoid bursitis. Partial tear of subscapularis tendon. Posterior labral tear. Mild supraspinatus muscle atrophy.
Left Shoulder: partial thickness articular surface and substance tearing in the supraspinatus tendon 1 cm from its insertion onto the greater tuberosity. Effusion and sinovitis are seen in the glenohumeral joint.
Full-thickness tear in the subscapularis tendon of the lesser tuberosity with up to 3 cm of tendon retraction. Partial tearing of the long head of the head of the biceps tendon
AC joint arthritis and subacromial bursitis.
Type II SLAP tear.
Subscapularis muscle atrophy
Do you have any suggestions on how to keep treating her?
I have been doing perfusion, working on her serratus, and basically all muscles around the shoulders, and also 20 Hz on her AC joint (but this only 4 times, should I do it constant 2xweek or somehthing like that?
Thank you very. much for your help!

i had a patient come in for some pulling under the foot. it wasnt heel tension but pain that i assumed coming from the flexor digitorum brevis area because i could feel pressure there under my fingers.
B/ hamstring tension with more tension on the L/ side was also found with SLR close to 90 on both sides. The tension in Flexor digitorum brevis was also more on the L/ side.
I just did sural nerve release for a few minutes and the hamstrings released to above 90 degrees and the tension in the flexor digitorum brevis released as well.
I have been using the sural nerve release in all hamstring tension cases and it works great.
I am pretty sure I am manipulating some other nerve pathway leading down to the area of FDBrevis
Question: Why would the flexor digitorum brevis release from above? What pathway leads to this? I still have much confusion on pathways leading to the bottom of the foot. Is there a reference material you recommend for learning pathways to the foot?
