Well its over....sort of.....

Well, I had my Trigger Point Shots yesterday around my left shoulder. They weren't too bad and I am BAD with needles. Thank goodness for the novacaine before the "BIG" shot, the steroid. My shoulder is stiff and sore, nothing a little TLC and ice won't cure. They could have done my left hip as well yesterday but they figured I had enough with the shoulder so I have an appointment for next Wednesday to do the hip. Now that I know what to expect, I feel a little better.
Today I wil spend the day nursing the shoulder and resting. To all those who are on the fence on the shots, yes I won't lie it does hurt when they do them but after a while things settle and it is like someone chucked a softball into your shoulder and is stiff and sore. Then again, everyone is different and what I experienced may not be what you do. So far I have had good results, and the doc said that I would be up and down the next couple of days. I have noticed that certain movements does aggrivate the area but I try to keep from doing them. So it will be a big rest day watching crap TV on the couch for me.(Then again that is everyday for me. :-) )
So here is my update for the TPIs. If anyone in the Eastern Mass. area needs to find a pain clinic for FM, please email me and let me know I will be more than happy to give you the information to contact them.
