Re: trigger point injections ???

April 4, 2006

Hi,

I have had these injections done many times. They were a bit painful for a

few minutes. After having them done in my neck, I could not move my neck

without crying out but this lasted for maybe ten minutes. Then, the pain

was gone. The next day, my neck was a bit sore but nothing unmanageable.

Hope they work for ya!

Yan,

So good to hear from you. How are you doing? Thanks for the info on

the injections, it will give me a little knowledge of what I'm going

through. How long do they work?

Hugs, Tawny

Hi Yan,

I'm so sorry your having so much pain, and out of meds. When are you

able to get more? It's a nightmare without pain meds:( What is

going on with your arm? It's been a bad day with me. I had to fast

today for lab work. The lab took 6 tubes for the liver problems, to

see what's going on. Then I went to the rheumy. He didn't say a

whole lot. He thinks the left leg pain and numbness is from my lower

back. He also wants the neurologist to talk with me, and that is

next Friday. They want another MRI of the brain done, something is

showing up, and they need to talk with me, so MORE problems. They

collected 2 tubes of blood before I left. So, I was so dizzy by the

time I left, finally picked up some chicken nuggets at MCs. He

doesn't want me on RA meds really, because or the liver enzymes. He

almost stopped the Plaquenil, but decided to leave me on it. He did

put me on Neurontin, and so hopefully that will help. So, that is my

day. I just want you to know you can email me anytime if you would

like to chat. Thanks for your kindness, Tawny
