. I talked to my gp about giving me steroids and he said he doesn't feel comfortable doing IT because I would need very high doses and steroids can cause serious problems. He said it would have to be a specialist. I asked the neuro about a nerve block to help with the head and scalp pain and pressure and she said that doesn't help and it's only used for people that have arthritis...I told my gp this and said not true, he said he does hundreds of them in his office. He told me to do some stretches on that area ( a lot for 10 days) if that doesn't help he will try injecting one side of my head to see what happens. I'm not sure what type of injection ( forgot to ask the name). He said he doesn't inject into the nerve but beside it. The goal is loosen muscle around the nerve to relive the pain. A trigger point shot?.. Anybody know what this is and if it may be helpful?
