Trigger point injections

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Question time. I'm considering the option of trigger point injections

to eleviate my sacral pain. My surgeon is happy with this option as

it goes nowhere near the epidural space. I have little information

and even less experience from others and would appreciate if anyone

here has tried these out and what sort of relief they produced. I'm

tiring of all these meds and fancy the idea of an alternative! I'm

not likely to see my PM doc until August so there's plenty of time

for responses.

Thanks

Carey,

I don't know about trigger point injections, but my daughter has had medial

branch blocks done and it has changed her life. The relief lasts about 3

months and has had no side effects at all. Hope this helps!

I agree...while I didn't have any luck with them, they aren't really

all that painful. I think at the worst part, I was inspired to

say " ouch " . That was about it. :)Afterward, it was a little sore, but

not as bad as a paper cut. Overall: not as bad as stubbing your toe.

You'll be fine.
