Got my psoas injected with cortisone today! We'll see tomorrow what happens. Off to Vincera to Meyers & Coleman April 1st.
Weird question if anyone here is medically inclined in this area. OK, my BP is low. Standard reading is 90/60 (variants of 92/61, 88/55 common). But when I am in a situation when I know I must stay calm, like a needle going into my muscle today while being rather near the hip socket (I was watching on flouroscopy, which was really cool!) I was actually rather freaked out on an emotional level. But I was on a cuff, and as usual, I started dropping. Went from 92 or so over 60. By the end of the injection I was at 85/50. Slowly just dropped. Does anyone know anything about this? I mean, everything online links chronic or even acute pain with high BP, but mine goes lower and lower.
I'm the same way in martial arts (which I'll likely never do again...lol). Give me a sparring partner, and I become the most calm person on the planet. Just found it odd, the nurses found it more odd, but as is standard in this stupid city, they think something is almost alarming and then don't even mention sending you onto a specialist. Not that I care, if it's not dangerous, only time it was dangerous I was being taken off meds and given an alpha blocker because it was actually somewhat high for once, hit 69/30 and I was face on carpet in 5 seconds flat.
Anyone?

Psoas Injection & Hypotensive response to pain or alarm2
Pain starting at ischial tuberosity 2013 (minor hamstring tendon tear); labral tear July 2013, referred pain to groin/bladder. Sept. 24th '13, tore my abdominal muscles and adductors at the pelvis; pain and spasms so bad I couldn't stand, walk, or go to the bathroom; misdiagnosed until Jan. 27th 14; double procedure 4/3/14, hip arthroscopy & muscle repair. One adductor still driving me nuts. Slowly working my way back to health & working to educate more about pelvic injuries/pathologies.

There are disease that can cause low blood pressure. Has your doctor ever worked you up to find out if you have a medical condition that is causing this such as a heart problem or thyroid? Some individuals control it by increasing their salt intake but you shouldn't do that until they work you up to see if they can find a cause.

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

Nope, they all say it's GREAT that it's super low. The only time it was really bad was when they couldn't draw blood until they figured out to use the children's needles...lol. I am really small, I think they just assume that's it or something.
Mainly it's that it drops and I get super calm if I'm in immediate pain. I knew that made me extremely calm, but never realized before how much it dropped my BP. Too much martial arts training perhaps? LOL
