Severe trapezius muscle pain
Hello, for the past few months been facing severe trapezius muscle pain and the severity varies throughout. Done with consultation with ortho and medications were done. Done with physiotherapy exercise and acupuncture needle exercise as well, however the relief is temporary (relief till 3-4 days post physio session). Taken back massage cushion, proper mattress, ergonomic chair (wfh per-se), still no respite from the pain. Done with MRI ( showed c5-c6 bulge which is normal & common) & X-ray ( normal) as well, both seems normal and unrelated to trapezius muscle pain.. can you suggest the reason for varying severity of pain despite medication ?
