A member asked:

How long does a trigger point injection provide relief on average and is there a limit of how many can be done each year? i have really bad muscle pai

Dr. Rudy Malayil answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Trigger point inj: The actually injection just allow the muscle to relax a little for you to do stretches and help prevent the muscle from being tense again. You can have them at least once a month if there is not steroid or Botox being used in it.
