Hello flyby- I too have had numerous pain injections BUT my gp gave them into my big muscle in my bum! they lasted about 3 months and helped my fibro pain very well, as well as other aches and pains, having the image intensifier style pain injection has proved the best in the past but I couldn't have that as my bowel was too close to the area I needed injected.. bye the way I was given Kenalog a steroid substance.

Yes my friend was told that. They said if the temporary injections work that she had under anesthetic they would consider ones which would permanently numb the nerves. I can imagine the wait for them to do something seems endless. Let us know how you get on.x

I had an assessment first you fill in a pain questioner then I was booked in for a mri on my lower back my 4 discs in my lower back had moved then I had a letter to see a specialist to tell what they will do I had 6 injections in my back 3 either side of my discs I don't now what the injections were called but first they but anaesthetic in your back then they put like a filler in between your discs then when you come home you have to lay flat on your back for about 2 days then you have to take it easy for a bout a week hope this is helpfull
