Re: Re:TRIGGER POINT INJECTIONS...NEED YOUR INPUT!/ and other stuff

i have been given TPJ's(triger point inj) for 10 years

now since my fall. I have noticed if they don't get

right into the triggering area it wasn't worth it.

I know immediately if they do as i get the electral

shock from down under and when it is in my shoulders

my arms feel like lead. i then go home and ice the

area injected for about 8 hrs.

i have had a big injection in my hip (had to be put

to sleep) . and the next day i found no differnce at

all.

now a question, does any one have feelings like umm

worms crawling under your skin?

and dry eyes?

now for my excitment for the week. i had to have a

colonoscopy this week for my crohns to see if it has

gotten worse, and yes was the answer.

please does any one else out here have sometype of IBS

problems?
