Muscle injections - risks and benefits?
Posted: Tue Feb 24, 2015 11:40 am
Hi all,
I'm new here. It's great to have come across this board: I'm grateful to you all for having shared your experiences as it's such a valuable resource - although obviously I wish that none of us had need to post here ...
I want to ask if any of you have experience/knowledge of muscle/trigger point injections. I've recently been delivered into the hands of the Pelvic Pain Management Clinic at Queen's Square in London; after an initial consultation, they have offered me the chance to consider "CT guided muscle injections". I've searched the net, including this board, but haven't come upon any reports from those who may have undergone these (which I understand as being a different procedure from nerve blocks - correct me if need be on this), nor any info as to the potential risks.
In case it helps to know, investigations so far have found that I have a sore and hypertonic pelvic floor (easing a little with internal trigger point work as well as daily stretches, relaxation etc), with suspected possible pudendal nerve implications.
Hope you can help! Thanks.
