Apparently I posted incorrectly yesterday, so I'll try this again...
Three years ago I began working out to Cathe on FitTV & then purchased several DVD's. I lost 30 pounds of fat in 8 months & toned up. I was VERY pleased with the results. The problem I started having was trigger points in my legs (small, but painful, muscle contractions...like a tightness that won't go away & cannot be stretched through). After getting the run-around from several doctors, I went to a massage therapist who specializes in trigger point therapy. That was a temporary help. Unfortunately, the trigger points keep coming back despite my efforts to stretch & strenghthen. They're very debilitating. I may be able to cycle or kickbox one day, but the trigger points keep my legs so SORE & tight for several days after. Does ANYONE have any information on trigger points or how to get rid of them permanently? I am desperate. I have not only gained some weight back but lost muscle tone d/t to this condition. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I do take magnesium supplements as well as a healthy "whole" vitamin supplement
