Also, the scalenes are close to some important nerves (apparently) so I wasn't sure it could be a regular thing for every few months.

In your case, did you see immediate relief or was it after a couple of weeks?
Were they ultrasound guided? Also, I wonder how much skill level varies between people giving them.

Not that I've had them.

Do either of you have edema above the collarbone?
