I had some more trigger points in the lower gluts yesterday. I told the pain doc that the ischium area has been the area that is most interfering with my sitting lately. He couldn't inject over the bone but did several injections around the area. Sore from the injections but some relief. I'm scheduled for more next week. I also got a RX for the botox. He said one of his patients ordered it online and had it sent directly to their pharmacy so they could check it out. I asked if it was from Canada & he said maybe. So, I will check some of their online pharmacies. He does some nerve burning & I asked what his success rate was with the procedure. He wasn't sure but thought it might be about 60%. Too low for me to try it. If the trigger point injections don't greatly diminish this pain, I will have the botox injected into the piriformis. If anyone knows where I can order the botox please let me know.
I will keep you posted on what I am trying.
