I have had cervical facet injections and it depends where they inject. if they can get to the root source you may some luck. I have not much with them. Not much relief at all but others do get relief as we all are duiferent But I would someone who specializes in this area or your doctor does these fregently I find some drs do better than other.example in triggr pointts injections.
THe best you can do is try it to see if helps. And I know how feel I which I could a trigger point now in my masseter in jaw and the neck. I just hurt so bad. I hurt so bad for you too, I hope relief for you soon.

Hi Judelew, thanks for replying. Sorry you have had little relief with the injections. Lord knows you need relief.

Well, I had an injection by a specialist. It didn't fully kick in till day 2. I felt no pain at all, it was heaven, but, short lived. By day's end the torture was back. I can't begin to tell you the disappointment and desperation I feel. Well, actually I can, you know all too well the hellish pain. I go back Nov. 9th for more injections. Maybe these will take. I pray you somehow find relief soon. Blessings, T

I have had none of these. I actually have had TN for many years off and on, and was on meds, had Gamma Knife, accupuncture which has actually made me pain free for 2 years. However a couple of weeks ago I had an episode that was the worst I have ever had, so I put myself back on my meds, but still continue to see my accupuncturist. My last step will be to have MVD, which I have put off, but I don't want to live with this for the rest of my life!! Try accupuncture and see if it may help you.
God Bless, LaneB

Hi, thanks so much for replying. I hate so much to hear that you are suffering. I am new to TN, 6 months now. It's amazing that accupuncture can help TN. It's so wonderful you had 2 years of no pain! I will be praying you find relief very soon. Blessing to you, T
