Never hurts to ask. I suppose if this existed we'd all know?

I want to experiment with this for pain reliefe without doing a hyperbaric chamber.

More oxygen to muscles = less pain.

A tight body (fascia ) = less blood flow, thus less oxy flow, .....then = more or continued body pain.

Obviously this is part of what makes massage feel good, more oxy from more blood flow = reduced pain (but temporary).

First of all, you should try to exercice a bit or even practice meditation --which can alleviate other problems too.
If exercice are too difficult for the moment, perhaps will you be able to practise later.
I found these on herb that could help :http://www.livestrong.com/article/474376-herbs-that-increase-blood-oxygen-levels/.
Ginkgo bilboa, ginger, cayenne and motherwort.
I'd recommend you to take spices too as they help the blood to circulate.
Hope that helps!

more oxygen to muscles maybe also means releasing tight muscles = less pressure on nerves..maybe?

I was discussing my swollen lymph node in the clavicle area with my physiotherapist and she said even lymph nodes when swollen can press on nerves and cause radiating nerve pain.

I should add a little history : I've exercised my whole life. After warming up I feel pretty good, but the body still tightens days after, which is a know fascia dysfunction and possibly mitochondria dysfunction pattern.

There is a therory out there that tight muscles days after exercise is what restricts blood and nerve flow in some of these people. This is way more than what is "normal".

**More oxygen should help if the above therory is correct, thats why I'm looking into this. Need more oxy to the muscle, not just blood.**

I was very athletic while my infection was rampant, since Drs said i was fine (we all heard that LOL). I think being overly athletic in the past, with lyme, is what led to this condition.

Have done a lot of fascia / muscle work, and post about this for others time to time. Including studied John Barnes myofascial / medetation release - didnt do much. More aggressive myofascial release with out meditation works better for me.

Alway people here with ideas, so this is a little off-lyme, but oh well.

Interesting astroman - about being overly athletic leading to the issues now.

This reminds me of my husband's car accident. (nothing to do with lyme) - at the time of the accident he was working out - needed to increase his bulk for playing hockey...and he was in really good shape.
Then a lady ran a red light and t-boned his car ..... car was totaled. He walked away...with some upper back pain. MRI's showed no spine/bone issues...just soft tissue damage.

A year later he still had a lot of pain. His GP mentioned that having the good muscle tone actually was a detriment. It could have actually made things worse...compared to if he had a 'soft' body.

He was told at the one year mark by an orthopedic Dr. that his healing was done. In fact, he said he would start to go downhill - as he was sure to develop arthritis.

My husband, stubborn man...said f--- that - and continued to do whatever he could to heal...and another year or more after that...he was pain free. He is still pain free today (in that area) over 15 years later.

So...never give up...

orthopedic Dr.s dont understand basic muscle chemistry or fascia. The skeleton, yes, but there is a lot more to it.

I first started MS like symptoms about 3 years after my initial nuero symptoms 20-25 years ago. So I was tight and sore then too, but was younger and the athletic mind set is no pain , no gain, so tried to ignore the pain.

Cant ignore pain anymore (hey, I'm old!), I still appear very fit and that confuses the "medical professionals". They assume people in pain are all out of shape, not true.

After spending about 3k on bodyworkers of various types , chiro, pt , ect, thats when I learned different forms of muscle/fascia releases, but know looking onto the chemistry side again. (obvuously methalation gene stuff included).
