so you learned
about the pain loop that centrally mediates pain in the brain. And in some people creates an overdrive situation, to augment/increase pain?
The seminar I went to, did NOT recommend trigger point injections, since the majority of the pain, is central, not local.
We were told that the drug companies are working very hard and have things in the pipeline that are coming soon, for this. In fact the fibro specialist said this was the next "frontier" in pain management.
Did your lecturer say that most of the pain in PN is central? Our lectures were on headache, and fibro. But RSD and IBS were included in the fibro part.
For autoimmune patients, I think the presentation is more peripheral. Like with MS. Did your lecturer break this down, between the peripheral and central issues? People without the autoimmune markers, may have a more fibro type presentation, perhaps?
