Trigger point injection

Recently started going to a pain management clinic. Been doing electrical stimulation, chiropractic manipulation. (done this before) Today I am going for a steroid injection. I am terrified! Why? They are going to inject THE most sensitive point on my head. My right temple! Just wondering how long I will be down after this. I sure hope this works.

Guess i'm just afraid of more pain. Hoping all goes well. Anyone else have steroid injections?

I had them when I went to a pain management doctor about 5 years ago.

I didn't find them all that painful but they didn't help my daily pain at all.

All they offered me when those didn't work was Methadone and I didn't want to do that.

I will cross my fingers that they will be helpful to you.

Good Luck.

Well I had the injections, not as painful as I thought they would be. I actually feel pretty good. Hopefully it will last for a while.
