Thanks everyone. I just got back from pain mgmt doc who thinks along the same lines of me and neuro, it's not an allergy but rather an aggravation to existing issues. Since I'm already quite spastic the pain of the burn plus pressure of the injection is causing the muscles to ball up in protection, unfortunately the muscles haven't learned to release from their protective balling and are overly sensetive... Snowballing into the widespread intensive spasms where the protector becomes the enemy.

So we're mixing up medications again, trying to calm the existing spasms (baclofen becomes skelatin and zanaflex increases by 1 a day) and solving for pain with gabapentin to reduce the body's "protective" spasms. Hopefully, these changes will work, and not just for the injections but will benefit the day to day issues as well. If all goes well, then next month I might finally be able to undergo some PT to get this body moving better, and if need be go under the knife to fix up a few tears first. But any talk of such things has been well to the back burner in light of the spasisty, ya can't really fix what's going to be ripped to shreds within hours of surgery by spasms.

One problem at a time I guess, just really getting impatient here.
