In reply to trigger point injections?, posted by NikkiT2 on January 3, 2007, at 9:33:22
Hi Nikki,
I've had alot of these. All mine have been low back and a few trigger points on the upperback. They worked o.k. I found the epidural blocks with local anesthetic and cortisone the most helpful, although they were also the most painful. It's kind of a b*tch if they miss and go into your spinal canal. Massive spinal headache. It sounds like you shouldn't be in any danger of that with your procedure.
Are they doing any cortisone injections too? I have found the cortisone injections very helpful. Do you have alot of pain issues?
Good Luck. I would definitely do it. I know its helped me.
Regards,
happykat :)
