Hi Samantha,
Pain specialist are great. They will try all kinds of ways to help you
relieve your pain. They may not be able to relieve all of your pain but
if they do trigger point injections and it takes away some of your pain
you have accomplished that much. I can't tell you it will work or not.
Some people get relief form these kinds of procedures and others don't
its a trial and error type thing. I have tried many different types of
nerve blocks. I got relief for up to 3 days with some. Others I got no
relief. But it is sort of like and individual thing. As far as the
adhesion thing. If you have been tested and have no other disease maybe
its adhesions. Maybe its not .Sometimes it is muscle spasms or nerve
damage. But don't just say no I won't try it. If you try it and it
works great if not then try something else. They are going to have to
try something besides surgery to see if you can get help . Patience and
understanding is a big deal. But if you try it and it doesn't work then
you and your doc work together and then you can say well it is adhesions
causing my pain . No one believes adhesions cause pain but it is what
they are attached to that cause the pain. My adhesions are attached to
all my intestines and as the food passes through it pulls and that is
where the pain comes from. Hang in there It will all work out for your
diagnosis. Take care and God Bless ya.
