@mshepard1 Thank you for writing. It has been a long journey, almost 3 years of pain from when I get up until I go to bed, every day, all day. It really wears you down.

I had the injections, they called it Trigger Point injections at the doctor's office, now I wait to see if there is any relief. I have had 3 epidurals. The first two did not make any difference, I was not better, but I was not worse. Unfortunately, the 3rd epidural I had was back in February, and from the day of the epidural, I was, and still am, in more pain than before the procedure.

The doctor mentioned if these injections did not work, there is a Botox option. I read about doctors using Botox for locked muscles, so that might end up being my next step.
