I'm not sure what I'm working with on D'Glenn. I did a bunch of range-of-motion things and passive stretches, worked a bit of shiatsu, and wanted to try the acupuncture/shiatsu-oriented portable hand-held TENS unit, but we got our sleep noncycles screwed up, and I kept needing to guard her sleep instead of working actively. I am familiar with acupuncture, love but can't quite afford it, but what are trigger point injections? I had a few classes in trigger points, and am used to the concept of pain ramifying, but have never heard of injections. What is it that gets injected? I may be out of date. I'm a non-invasive worker where skin is the physical boundary. Thanks for the info. I wish you and Terilee the best of fortunes. Finding practical help is tough.
Terilee says the trigger-point injections were lidocain and something else, but she can't remember what. Doing what you need to get good sleep (painkillers or whatever) is also important; she mentioned that when I was asking her about treatment, but I didn't get it down.
This seems to be a pretty good description of it. I found other descriptions on the web which claim that it takes months to develop, lasts for months, and then takes months to go away, which doesn't really fit with our experience (certainly not the 'months to develop' part.) Of course, with medical info on the web, it's always hard to judge whether they know what they're talking about.
