What Pain Drains is Hope

The only downside to seeing my doctor is that he always needs to check the amount of mobility and where my bunched up pain is lurking. He is so skilled that he hits each spot where it hurts and in myofascial syndrome that means it hurts on the same identical nerve on each side of the body. So if my right shoulder hurts at one spot, my left does too. At exactly the same place. Ouch. So now I need to take some otc pain medicine to help with the reaction to being checked out. If I don't my migraine will return and drain away the hope I have of feeling ... better, whole, well again.
