Guest guest Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 My daughter has the trigger point massage every other week. They don't inject it with anything. She said the " get in there with their elbow, etc. " . She also said she " finally learned to relax some during the massage, and it does hurt but breaks up the knots and she feels better in a few days " . I don't thing I could tolerate the pain of that at all. With PPS also (we think) CFS and FM it's all I can do to keep up on what meds cause me to get sicker, etc. I've learned that I have to keep on my toes because most docs still don't have a clue. Last visit - I was sent to the ER - with that horrible neck/head/shoulder " headache " that " razerback " was mentioning. I had it for over 3 weeks. I came home - with a lesser headache - but a headache for 2 more days, plus I was drugged, having a bad reaction to the drug they did give me, and full of two more - one to counter-act it and another for nausea, etc. I remember that day but not much about the next day - it " erased " my memory of the next couple of days. I don't like that feeling. It's like surgery. I can take narcotics - the Oxycodone and drive. It just controls the pain. And I don't have an adictive personality so no danger there. I can take 4 -6 for a day or two - and then none. I just hope this doc keeps prescribing them. I looked over my drug print-out and only averaged one per day the past year. So that's not bad. Problem is - this doc is good for " regular " things and has no clue about any of my illnesses I live with day to day. Marty Frugal Gal cfsgal@...
