Melody;

I had trigger point injections and they worked for about 6 months each. This went on until I moved here and my new doc did them as well. But soon the six months started inching back to 4 months, then 3 then 2 and at that point they started to hurt, rather than help me. But, I had success with them for 3 years. So, I'd talk to your doc about them.

As far as asking questions to doctors - I do it all the time for myself and my wonderful husband who has back, neck and orthopaedic issues. I have to ask the questions and sometimes it leads to possibilities!

Good Luck to All,
Nancy-H
