Recently, my upper right arm began hurting. On Sunday, I began massaging it with some of my fingers. By the time I went to bed, it was extremely painful. I only slept a few hours that night. When I arose from my bed, I nearly fainted from the pain and lack of sleep. When I was able, I went to get the book you see above.

I have been using it for many years for all types of physical and muscular pain. Years ago, when my neck was fused, I had a frozen shoulder that was incredibly painful. I researched everything about it. There was no way I was going to let a physical therapist work on it. It was simply too painful to bear. Thankfully, I found this book. It took a month for the pain to go away completely and for me to be able to raise my arm above my head, but it was worth it! This is the updated version, and it’s fantastic! To figure out the trigger points, I found this page:

I had no idea what could have caused this, so once I found out where the trigger points were, I wanted to figure out how I would have injured my upper arm so severely. I never lift anything heavy or do any hard labor with my arms due to my neck. I try to pamper it all the time, or else I pay a heavy price. This is what the book said:

So, it made perfect sense! I read a lot. I hold up my Kindle so I don’t have to look down and harm my neck. I usually don’t rest my elbows on the arms of my chair, so they’re just hanging there and stressing the muscles in my upper arms.

I also found that over-massaging it can inflame it, which I did on Sunday. It instructed me to do the trigger point therapy more gently and ice it afterwards. So, I did that all day on Monday (trigger point every three hours, then icing). That night, I slept nine hours straight with no pain! If you struggle with headaches, tendonitis anywhere, foot pain, or any pain, I encourage you to buy this book!

Sometimes, I wonder why I am given so much pain. I decided it must be to help all of you who suffer often as I do!

For the joy of the Lord is your strength.
Nehemiah 8:10
