You and your wife have every right to refuse any treatment or procedure that you do not want. If something is not helping why keep doing it? The doctor is wrong to be forceful about this. Tell the doctor you want to see the studies that support this kind of therapy. If you don't want to be confrontational then just say the both of you have discussed it and don't want to continue with the injections due to the lack of improvement. Iwould seriously consider finding a new physician if she will not respect your decision. So many times patients do things they don't want to or are uncomfortable with because they feel obligated because the doctor said. You have to be your own advocate unfortunately. Sorry, I am in health care and it infuriates me to see the doctors/nurses and other staff push the patients around. Our job is to educate the patient to help them make the correct decision for themselves.

Best of luck to you and your wife.
