Question 1

norman hida scan results but pain during cck injection made my already pain ten times worse what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Biliary colic: Recreation of symptoms following CCK provocation is superior to EF for the identification of underlying chronic cholecystitis. Indeed, a normal gallbladder ejection fraction does not necessarily rule out a biliary etiology of symptoms.

Question 2

i had an injection in ileopsoas bursa about 3 weeks ago. the pain lessened but never totally relieved. now it is getting worse. what might be the next step? i see the dr in 3 weeks. can the injection wear off or does it stop at once? thanks?

Accepted Answer

Wears off : Assuming the injection contained steroids, how quickly it wears off  depends on amount, sustained release Vs immediate release, but it will wear off. As it only lasted a couple of weeks, I would discuss other techniques for pain relief such as radio frequency ablation, physical therapy, manipulation, TNS unit, oral/topical NSAIDs, and ergonomic education. Good luck

Question 3

i have been seeing a rhuemotologist, i got nerve block injections a while ago which made my spine worse, she wants me to again instead of surgery?

Accepted Answer

Too Vague: Unfortunately it is difficult to advise you of anything given what you've shared.  I'd suggest discussing your options and your concerns about proceeding with surgery.  There are a lot of treatment options but they all depend on your particular situation.

Question 4

could marcaine injections make pain worse?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Marcaine (bupivicaine) is a local anesthetic that is known to make pain better not worse.

Question 5

sciatia, steroid injections make it better or worse?

Accepted Answer

Sciatica: Steroid injections are done to improve the sciatica. If done early they are very effective. In some every small instances they may worsen the pain initially.

Question 6

are injections now actually making veins worse/ more noticeable later?

Accepted Answer

No: Many mistakenly believe this but it is actually exactly the opposite of what really happens.  It is safe to say that treating your veins now will help to prevent you from developing as much new vein trouble as you would have done otherwise without treatment.  Unfortunately, though, nothing can guarantee that no new veins will ever show up in your lifetime even after effective  treatment.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Steroid injection, unless done with specific diagnosis &amp; spot

may not help you.

Question 8

for lower back pain which works best & what is difference between radiofrequency ablation & nerve root injection & if you already had radiofrequency and it didnt work as it made the pain worse but it be wise to have a nerve root injection after this?

Accepted Answer

: There are various treatment options available to alleviate the pain. Two of the most common treatments for lower back pain are radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and nerve root injection (NRI). There are potential risks and side effects associated with both including infection, bleeding, and nerve damage. The effectiveness varies from patient to patient. Try to find a really experienced clinician.

Accepted Answer

: I think it's time for a neurosurgeon to quiz &amp; examine you, review the MRI and then discuss best treatment options. I won't be surprised if surgery is strongly recommended in view of your symptoms and the MRI findings.

Question 10

Not usually: I have never had that experience in my practice.
