Chronic inflammation or muscle tightness

Post by ramana »

I keep on coming across articles / docs who state that chronic pain is due to chronic inflammation. I presume that chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome is due to muscle tightness. But when I see mention of anti inflammatory diet here I wonder if inflammation is causing muscle tightness or muscle tightness causing some (invisible) inflammation that is causing pain. HITP never mentions inflammation.

The issue of pain and inflammation has been discussed many times. it's best to review the page on pelvic myoneuropathy first.
