Web forums and medical articles on this relatively recently defined headache syndrome are filled with stories of headache that was triggered, usually by an infection. Most know the exact date it started, and most just had EBV (mono), or were later diagnosed with Lyme. I have both, but they're not new. There has never been any research on it. There is no proven effective treatment, since the mechanism is unknown.I believe that it is inflammation from an overactive immune response. Occassionally… read more

Can it be used for chronic plantar fasciitis
Never heard of this
This is not so much of a question as a comment on the write-up on Botox Injections. The first is to make sure that the doctor knows if the insurance company will pay for it. If it is not an FDA-approved indication (i.e., TMJ trigger points/muscle spasms) the insurance company probably won't pay for it. Go to www.fda.gov and search on "Botox approved indications" (or do a Google search using that).
That's me up shit creek and no paddle as I can't afford medical insurance and there's only so much a gp can do I just ave to shut up and get on with it alone
I had this injection just the once but it did not work. Why is it done to the surgeon? I do agree I had to wait all day for the injection (Got to hospital by 7.30 went into theatre 4.30 then it didn't work!)
I was told that it releases the muscles and that is why they use it on peoples faces because it releases the muscles that cause wrinkles.
May have worked better on them than on my leg! LOL
I got injections and ended up at my rheumy for an emergency appointment the next day to find out injections flare up my lupus and told never to get them ever again!
My pain doc wants me to try a nerve block on my back. I'm willing to try anything at this point. If you've had it done, is it painful? Does it hurt? I have DDD, stenosis,and L-4 and L-5 are herniated. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
You need to find a specialist who knows how to do it and has a CT or at least an ultrasound available. It can help you to patch up the pain for 1 - 3 months depending on the stage of your herniated… read more
Unfortunately epidurals only give me a day of relief from the novocaine in the injection. My insurance denies oblations. I’m sorry for all your pain.
Have never had them...but Dr wants to start treatment.
Like so many here, I have to agree. I avoid them sticking any needles into my neck, back or anything related as I have never had a good experience with them.. I have a very high threshold to standing… read more
I have been assessed at the pain clinic as a candidate for spinal steroid injections every six months. I have severe spinal stenosis on several levels in my lumbar spine.
Has anyone had these injections, and if yes, what are some of the side affects and also what are the positives?....I'm seeking a balanced picture.
Any information will be extremely appreciated!
I have had several shots and they worked. I was in such pain it was my last treatment and it worked. These shots may not work for everyone. I even had an epidural for my neck and that so far is… read more
Because I have always had Sedation.
However my pain doctor is having a hard time getting the Medications for the Sedation.
Do not get injections. They will make it worse. They've been banned in Europe for a reason. All the injections do his pay off your doc's student loans.
