I have severe case of fibromyalgia, I'm having injections in my spine soon has anyone else had this ?

[Blue-52]

yes, I had them in my neck and spine, it’s guided by a scan, you have to lay very still, not easy when you jerk. Have you got nerve damage?. Good luck I hope it helps

Hi, I have extremely bad fib, but I do not have injections, are they helping you, I'm on amitrypine, gabapentin, naproxen, and tramadol

I've had 12 spinal injections, 6 either side of spine, did absolutely nothing for me. However the injection into the back of the head did stop the migraines for a few months. Hope you have more success than I managed.

I've had injections in my lower spine and sacroiliac joints, on several occasions. The last time I had them they didn't work, so won't be having anymore. But the times before gave me some short term relief. I had them done under sedation to make sure I didn't move, I had to ask for sedation though. I hope you get some relief from it

I have had them I think they call them trigger points don't think it did much good and very uncomfortable to have

I had spinal injections, they said they had a 50% chance of helping, they had no effect sadly.

Hi, same as others. They didn't help me or a friend of mine. You may be different so try it as you have nothing to lose.

Had this dreaded illness for most of my life. Am now 76. Early on they didn't know what to call it so we (mom, and Grandma had it too) were tossed in the same container often called crybabies or told, oh, it's all in your head. My response was really? How about it's all over my body? Anyway, after many years of frustration I decided to try injections. As everyone knows you'll pretty much try anything to get some degree of relief. 7 injections. No relief. After the last one I asked how many different cocktails do some patients submit to. 53 was the highest he could remember. 53! Sorry, I don't think so doc. I can't imagine that many drugs floating around inside of me is doing any good. Especially considering not one injection provided a moments relief.
