I can only say that for ME I saw a chiro when I was having the pain in arms and back and such and especially the neck...after seeing two reputable docs on Dys. I was told that I should not return that it can make things worse. Now I must say that there are always conflicting opinions in this..and massage therapy I had cranial-sacral done for muscles spasms and I felt good for a few hours but then in two or three days felt I couldn't walk..remember this is just my experience. But if oyu have something nerve related or muscular it could make things alot worse for you Dayna. I was told it was the coat-hangar effect from POTS and also neuropathy..(hands,feet,arms,etc)...it can be different areas at different times. But usually if my shoulder,arm,hand hurt it is only on left side. How are your potassium levels and such are you keeping things balanced .I know you have gastroparesis but I know this stuff is alot worse when my electrolytes are out of whack. Heat and ice alternating might help??(moist heat if muscular) Bee
