I have had so many triggerpoint injections, if the holes stayed, I'd look like a strainer.

I swear by them. I have had them for the Fibro, Pelvic pain, RSD, and chest pain.

They do work. I think at times it takes more then one in areas, you almost need a series of them in certain areas to calm it down completely.

My PCP gives them to me. They don't hurt when he does it but at the U of Colorado Hospital the needles were too long. My PCP said they don't have to be big needles to do the job.

Mine are mostly lidocaine and ketamine injections. I've only had about 3 steroid shots in the 10 years of dealing with the pain.
