Hello! I have noticed that leading up to and during my period I have a really painful tightening in certain areas of my fascia, and also when I started taking progesterone my knee bent sideways which after doing some research seems to be a fascia related issue as well. I have looked into trigger points and I'm starting to massage some of my knots out because apparently this can take some time, but it seems that since I've been following some of Ray Peat's advice and changing up my hormones my fascia has been reacting in a strange way. I don't know if it's healing and therefore toxins are moving out and therefore causing temporary pain. I'm hoping this is the case, and that this is just part of the healing process. I have also heard that fascia is the cause behind cellulite, something I have had since I was a teenager even though I was always quite thin. If this is true, then is fascia something that is "weaker" or more prone to having issues in women than men? Thanks in advance for any insight you may have.
