Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I didn't get the info from a Dr. so don't take it to heart. A friend of mine has a ruptured disc in her back and I was turning to get her to get a referral to my PM Dr. so she could get a block or epidural. And she told me they caused scar tissue. I have the very same problem with my shoulder and armpit. it just doesn't want to move. ~:~Jena~:~ My Home Page My E-mail Re: Tommie Trigger Point Injections Actually I am not sure what trigger point injections are. I like Stryker Mom have had injections in my shoulder several times. And if the cause is your shoulder they do help. but in my case it was coming from my neck. so it took a epidural. Has anyone heard that the epidurals and blocks to your spine or in the disc can cause scar tissue? Jena ~:~Jena~:~ My Home Page My E-mail .

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Jena, I'm beginning to think that maybe the knee and shoulder problems I am having are both from the Fibromyalgia. I still think I'll get the trigger point injections as this pain in all of the above has gone on long enough!

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Tommie, I had such several pain in my lt arm this fall. I have had 2 epidurals in my neck. I had almost lost the use of my hand. " I am lt handed " . so that surely wasn't good. But if that pain comes back like I had it this fall you can bet I will be begging for another epidural and will just take my chances. My friend that told me this is a nurse. we used to work together. and she does have a ruptured lumbar disc. But I don't think her pain has gotten bad enough or else she would be doing something about it.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I sure hope it doesn't again. I went to the Dr with no make up or anything. I was hurting so bad I didn't care. and I usually don't go out of the house without my make up.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Now that's bad when you don't put your face on. But with our luck with docs, they may just think we are depressed or we are putting on the show for them. Who knows what they think. I just think of all the uglies they could think and they probably don't. lol Was it your PMdoc or PCP you went to? ~Tommie Re: Tommie Trigger Point Injections Actually I am not sure what trigger point injections are.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 that is true. but he knows how I usually come for my visits. And I was a long shot from it that day. and begging him for help. I think he took me for real. that is when he put me on the Morphine Sulfate cR and the percocet for breakthough pain. ~:~Jena~:~ My Home Page My E-mail Re: Tommie Trigger Point Injections Actually I am not sure what trigger point injections are.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Jena, I'm glad he took you seriously. I think that when we have a new pain doc we have to build a rapport before they will really help us. They are so leery and I don't blame them, it's the druggies I blame. Everyday we pay the price in some way, shape or form, for what dishonest people have done. Just think about it. There is always some extra step we have to take, extra form or ID, something that we have to do, that we wouldn't otherwise have to, if people weren't so dishonest. Stepping back off my soap box before I get going too bad. lol ~Tommie Re: Tommie Trigger Point Injections Actually I am not sure what trigger point injections are.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I know exactly what you mean. And when you go get your script filled the first thing they do is go and see if your name is in the book. I was at my PM Dr. one day and he got a call where someone was Dr. hopping and getting meds from Different Dr's and different drug stores. Boy, he didn't take kindly to that at all. he told his tech to take the necessary steps to prosecute. That person messed up big time. But they are also the ones that make it hard on us.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 I agree, they should be punished. I wish they'd stop! I'm glad your doc took action! ~Tommie Re: Tommie Trigger Point Injections Actually I am not sure what trigger point injections are.
