Hi Everyone,
 
I go once a month to a pain management center, and I cannot begin to tell you how much they have helped me.  I have heard from others some "not so good" stories, however, I am very happy with the one that I go to.
 
I receive trigger point injections for my fibromyalgia and muscle spasms.
 
I also have a procedure done every 3 - 6 months called "Pulsed Radiofrequency Neurotomy" where they actually burn the nerves in my neck.  This is done mainly for my chronic migraines.
 
Don't get me wrong.  If I had a medication that helped me, I wouldn't have to go through this procedure.  Unfortunately, it seems every medication that does help me is not covered by my insurance.
 
I have a lousy GP who doesn't care to take the extra time to get it approved.  So I am left with only this option.
 
I have been going to the same place for 4 years, and I have yet to have a complaint.  If you try one you are not happy with, try another.  Mine has been a very positive experience for me, and has lessened my pain a great deal.
