Hi again, may I ask both of you if your doctors used ultrasound to find the nerves before injecting? I'm reading something about a 'tape measure' was used in a comment? I know ultrasound is supposed to be used to identify the nerves. Thanks!

Cathleen. He did use an ultra sound. No tape measure but using the ultra sound did nothing because he hit something. Who knows where he was looking. It’s one month and three days since I had the IOVERA and if it were up to me it would be taken off the market
