Quadratus lumborum muscle trigger point - TOM

[Guest guest]

Okay Tom, here goes.... On two separate occasions, Dr. Quesada gave me a trigger point injection in the Quadratus lumborum muscle (just to the right of the bone spur). Could you tell me the path of that muscle? Where does it connect and what is it's main function? Thanks a bunch... Chelle

Okay, so bear with me here, my report says: "trigger point over the right QL muscle identified and injected"....hmmm..... Okay, if you were looking at my sacrum, the spur is located on the lower right hand side of the sacrum and must extend into the coccyx. MRI scans reads: "bony spurring seen at the right side of the sacro-coccygeal junction." Does that help any? ~Chelle

Maybe there was a typo or something with the transcription in my report... Would you have a guess about what muscle would be off to the lower side of the sacrum? I have many triggers on both sides of my sacrum, in different areas...but that 'one' where I was injected has given me the most problems with pain. Thanks,

C'mon Chelle,

You have to do better han that Ha Ha..

QL has three divisions:

Ilio costal (iliac to 12 rib)

Illio lumbar ( iliac to lumbar spine)

Lumbo costal ( lumbar spine to 12 rib)

They not only stabilize the spine but actually work as side benders.

It is no where near the sacro-spinous ligament . So tell me again where

your spur is???

Yes Chelle,

Triggers are very common especially where there has been what we call

frontal plane asymmetry or leg length difference ( due almost 99% to

pelvic asymmtries)

So they are one of the go to places for injections.

The local of your spur is no where near that.. Your spur is way done by

the tailbone.

Chelle, are you saying she injected you down low and was not in your

low back?

Not a typo, either she forgot and just put down " whatever" or she

figured you would not know the difference

Pirifirmis is the muscle closest to where you describe.

Could a heal spur on my right foot cause VPD problems too? Thanks. " K.
