Trigger Point Injections

Went this morning to have trigger point injections in my neck and shoulder. Sounds painful - but it wasn't. I really only felt a couple that was put in the back of my neck. It will be a series of them, so I go back next week for another round. I'm really hoping this helps with the spasms and tension headaches. Right now I can't tell much difference, but hope to by next week. *wish me luck*

Migraines - guess they haven't been too bad. I had one Christmas morning but it was due to lack of sleep. Kids always stay up late (and Santa has to wait for them to sleep) then they wake us up at the crack of dawn. Not planning much tonight (New Year's Eve) so I hope I do not wake up with another. Treximet really seems to be helping with little side effects. The only issue I have with it is that it takes about 30 minutes or so to "kick in". 30 minutes with a migraine seems like forever. The Imitrex injections were almost instant, but I often got the migraine back after a few hours or days.

Ok, enough about pain. :)  Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and will have a happy New Year.
