I've only had shots in my shoulders so far. Where was the shot and do you know what was in it. My pain spec is going to do some trigger point injections with something new.

Hope It works for you.

Hugs

Thank you for the reply.

They injected at the base of my skull; into the occipital nerves. So far I am doing alright with it. Headache is gone, but the injection sites hurt :( they used a steroid. I never had steroid injections before, so dont know what to expect.

I sure can think of so many other places on my body that could use injections; shoulders are one.

I dont even know what occipital neuralgia means for me for the long haul.

I just pray this helps. Headaches/migraines are one of my biggest ongoing problems :(

My injection sites were sore for a day or two. the first shots I got it last for several years before it hurt enough to get more shots. They were steriods. How long they last varies from person to person.

I hope the headaches stay away for a long time.

Hugs

Yes it does depend on the person.. Iwent in to get them 2x and both timex they wore off within the first couple of weeks...But you never know.. Hope it works for you

WOW, I am astonished and amazed! I woke up today with no headache pain at all! Even the injection sites are not at all as bad as they were yesterday.

WOW! I did not know this was even an option. I am glad my neuro picked up on it and offered the therapy.

How long it will last, I dont know, but I feel like a weight has been lifted. I have hope with this area;now on to the rest of my body, that would be nice too.

I did not know injection therapy was an option for the trigger points, let alone the head. So far, I am blown away with hope. I did not have hope, now I do :)

I got a trigger point injection in my back, between my shoulder blades. It was SO worth the pain of the needle. Almost instantly I felt relief. Mine was a combo shot of cortisone and a numbing drug. I am so happy you are feeling better! Love, Lynn
