I don't know anything about that condition, and I guess I'm afraid to ask. At the moment, I can definitely say that while in a longish-term stressful situation (like being unhappy at work), my body responds with a very precise pain that does not respond to analgesics or anti-inflamatories at all. Massage helps at the time, but true relief only comes when the stress has been resolved.
The best tale I have is when I worked in a sweatshop dental laboratory and my hips hurt so bad I couldn't get out of my car without help. Now THAT was a message I should has listened to (got fired for insubordination instead!!).
