Re: Neuro visit, not really worth it

[Guest guest]

Hello Debbie L,

I hope that the shots will work well for you. The way it was explained to

me was that once the muscle(s) got to that point of pain, they stay that

way. Once they are calmed down (with the shots) they should stay relaxed.

Ok, that's not exactly how it was said but hopefully I'm making some sense.

I understand that you are getting sick of going to the doctors. I feel the

same way. Sick and tired of being sick and tired. But the sooner you get

the injections, the sooner you should start to feel better.

Best wishes,

Joanne, IL
