Started seeing a physiatrist 1 year ago and had several treatments of robotic massage with no help and in January 2017 had my first cortisone injection with some relief. Since then have had 3 more cortisone injections with one being very helpful and the last 2 very little relief. Have decided to get a second opinion but not sure what type of doctor to see. Anyone have any input into this?
Cranial sacral therapy may help combined with massage that involves stretching. Try some gentle yoga.

Did you receive any advice on stretches that would help?
