I have had trigger point shots now for 3 years 30 shots (neck, shoulder,and back) every 3 to 4 weeks. I believe I had problems for the first few times but once we discovered I couldn't take to much of the steroids we started using a plant based med called Serapen made from the Venus flytrap plant. I could do those shots. I know they worked because the pain got better it took about a year before I stopped taking the shots for a couple of months and I realized that more of the pain was back. I have had to be off those shots now for almost a year now and can barely move my neck and shoulder's . Wishing I could find another doctor who did these shots.

I can get rid of five of my meds and all their side effects

My insurance at this time won't cover injections but had them in the past and they worked but really amped me up I feel they used too much steroids. 😉

I have had trigger point injections in neck and hips. They lasted about two weeks so I considered them ore painful than worth it. Sorry

I'm doing kind of the same thing now. I get tigger point shots and if they work I get those nervous burned. They help me for the most part. First of the yr I'm going to be smoking pot and getting shots. I think that will really help me
