#trigger point injections

[lifblogs]

Anyone else pale and nauseous hours after trigger point injections? This hasn’t happened to me before, but I’m still wondering if it’s related. Of course, it’s entirely possible that it’s not.

That's my cat. He sleeps on my right side 90% of the time I'm in bed.

Caution trigger warning: needles injections shot needle bad poops

Hi

I went for my lidocaine injection, had instant relief for 2 hours of almost all my pain. But then it wears off. It is meant to focus on my trapped nerve pain and my goal was to calm that the hell down so my body could then calm the hell down.

My existence is uncomfortable. I am not in screaming pain anymore. I did have a bad poop though (loltmidontcare) but I think this is all related to swelling from the injection sites and stuff. This happened historically where I also could not feel my need to pee until I had like 30 seconds to hobble to the bathroom.

Anyways this is finally exhausting me so I'm cutting this off now and gonna try to sleep.

What is Deep Tissue Laser Therapy?

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses a low-level laser to penetrate deep into the tissues and promote healing. It is a safe and effective alternative to traditional therapies, providing fast and lasting relief from pain and inflammation.

What are the benefits of Deep Tissue Laser Therapy?

Deep tissue laser therapy is a type of treatment that uses concentrated light to stimulate healing and reduce pain in the body’s tissues. Here are some of the potential benefits of deep tissue laser therapy:

Pain reduction: Deep tissue laser therapy has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation in many conditions, including arthritis, sports injuries, and chronic pain.

Improved healing: The concentrated light used in deep tissue laser therapy stimulates the production of collagen and other healing factors, which can speed up the healing process for injuries and wounds.

Reduced muscle spasms: The therapy can help relax tight muscles and reduce muscle spasms, which can be especially beneficial for people with conditions like fibromyalgia.

Increased circulation: The therapy can improve blood flow and circulation, which can help deliver nutrients and oxygen to injured tissues and promote healing.

Non-invasive: Unlike many other types of treatments, deep tissue laser therapy is non-invasive and does not require surgery or other invasive procedures.

What Does Deep Tissue Laser Therapy Treat?

Because deep tissue laser therapy reduces inflammation, and because virtually any part of the human body can become inflamed due to injury or illness, deep tissue laser therapy can be utilized in almost countless treatment applications. Patients frequently use deep tissue laser therapy to treat pain and inflammation associated with:

Sciatica

Neck pain

Joint sprains

Sports injuries

Lower back pain

Soft tissue injuries

Shoulder & knee pain

Hand & wrist injuries

Foot & ankle conditions

Post-surgical rehabilitation

I did trigger point injections on a pt today. Her R rhomboid muscles were hypertonic so my attending helped me do the trigger point injections. They're easy. He combined lidocaine 1% 3 mL with bupivacaine 0.5% 3 mL and we injected 4 points. Easy to do and can provide relief. Hope they will help the pt. This is a procedure note for it:

After discussion of the risks and benefits, the patient elected to proceed with a trigger point injection into the R rhomboid. I confirmed no prior adverse reactions, no active infections, and no relevant allergies. Each injection site was prepped with alcohol. The site was injected with local anesthetic in 1:1 ratio of 1% lidocaine with 0.5% bupivacaine. The injections (4 total) were completed without complication and bandages were applied.

The way people are complaining that jinx isn’t the same character this season because she’s “sane” (aka not actively having an episode of psychosis, even though she literally did experience a hallucination when seeing vi with the enforcers), is strange.

also I find it strange that people talk about jinx and powder as if they’re separate people. they aren’t. jinx is powder, grown up and traumatized and mentally ill. like i completely understand that jinx likely struggles to realize this, because extremes are often the stable of bpd and she shows all the signs, and well—a personality disorder is a personality disorder.

but no jinx did not kill powder and taint her memory. powder is not gone. jinx can not exist without powder, and vice versa—because they are eachother. that’s what vi needs to realize and accept as well—her sister is not gone.

her sister just grew up and changed and is traumatized and mentally ill. it’s impossible for jinx to kill powder, or for powder to “come back,” the exact same she was. vi could never have powder back because the powder vi remembers was a scared, helpless little girl who depended on her for almost everything. powder was never going to remain that way forever—not if she wanted to survive.

powder has grown up and changed without her. that was always going to happen, it happens to everyone. if nothing happened as it did, their family was still alive, vi was never thrown in jail and powder never taken in by silco; powder still would’ve changed, somehow, someway. She’d likely still just be going by powder rather than jinx.

I got my shot today

It's hard to type and be good at it now so you get this.

I got sushi for lunch and went owling. I only saw eagles. :/

Overall the lidocaine injection is going to help but it causes chaos on the first day and night. I have severe fatigue and brain fog and pain everywhere but the spot the lidocaine is meant to treat. Today is just bad health wise but I'm in a good mood.

Oh, there's also a wounded chicken in my shed. I can't access it and if it makes it through the night, I'll get it out of there. Used a lot of energy in that situation. Won't share the photos cause it looks rough.

This probably didn't make sense. Sorry.

I'm okay, my husband is teaching care of me but I'm truly out of it.

Regenerative Medicine, Midlothian Medical & Sports Center, Midlothian, TX

If you’re looking for a natural, non-surgical way to heal from injuries or chronic conditions, regenerative medicine may be the answer you’ve been searching for!

Discover the Power of Natural Healing with Regenerative Medicine

Our team of friendly and experienced doctors specialize in regenerative medicine, which uses the body’s own natural healing abilities to repair and regenerate damaged tissues and organs. We can help you achieve optimal health and wellness without resorting to invasive procedures or prescription drugs.

How Regenerative Medicine Works

Rather than referring to a specific medical procedure, regenerative medicine is a field of medicine that involves several remedies to assist the body in promoting natural healing. Regenerative medicine can be as simple as promoting tissue growth and healing on injured skin or as complex as using artificial, human-engineered organs to replace permanently damaged organs.

Benefits of Regenerative Medicine

New findings in stem cell research, platelet-rich plasma applications, tissue engineering, and artificial organ technology have enabled patients to experience long-lasting improvements in their health. Some of the potential benefits of regenerative medicine include the following:

Pain relief without painkillers

Healing stubborn injuries permanently

Significantly improved health in joints and tendons

Rejuvenation and healthfulness in skin, hair, and nails

Improved health and long-term pain relief without side effects

Better recovery and quality of life following musculoskeletal injuries and degenerative diseases

The potential benefits from regenerative medicine are far more in number than those outlined above, as medical practitioners can tailor therapies to the patient’s needs.

Common Types of Regenerative Medicine

Types of regenerative medicine and its application are growing rapidly as patients see the benefit of treating illness and injury at its source (rather than endlessly addressing symptoms). Some of the most common and frequently sought regenerative therapies include:

Cellular therapies

Cellular therapies are a type of regenerative medicine that use cells from your own body to promote healing and repair damaged tissues. These therapies work by harvesting cells from your body and then injecting them into the injured or damaged area. Once injected, the cells work to repair and regenerate damaged tissues, promoting natural healing and reducing inflammation. Cellular therapies can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, from joint pain and osteoarthritis to chronic wounds and sports injuries.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that involves using your body’s own blood to promote healing. This process involves drawing a small amount of blood from your body and then processing it in a centrifuge machine to separate out the platelets and growth factors. The concentrated platelets and growth factors are then injected back into the injured or damaged area to promote healing and reduce inflammation. PRP therapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including joint pain, tendonitis, and osteoarthritis.
