Just curious if anyone has had these before? I go tomorrow at 2 than have my regular weekly treatments after that. Going to be a long day at the pain clinic!
I had one once...but it wasn't in a joint. It was in my pelvic bone area....turns out I wouldn't have needed it. Looong story---It wasn't that painful, not fun though. But if you're getting yours in a joint- I'm thinking it's going to be a bit painful!?
Good luck!I don't think its in a joint. From my understanding, the inject muscle spasm or con strictures in your back to relieve referred pain elsewhere in your body. I have had a few cortisone shots in joints like my hips, ankles and wrist but I think this is supposed to be different.
Yes, Michele, I have had many trigger point injections.
A few years ago, before I was diagnosed with RA, I was getting 3 shots every 3 months in my back. Usually upper back, right next to the spine or by shoulder blade. They really did help me for about 3 years. At that time, I starting developing Cushings symptoms, so I had to quit getting them. I also have widespread OA and fibro, among other things.
I hope you get some relief. Let us know how it goes.
Be well,
Nini
