A member asked:
How often can trigger point injections be done for myofascial pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on what: Solution is used. If it is only lidocaine or mixture of saline and lido it can done monthly. But if there is steroid mix within, then should be much less frequent and I do not advocate for any steroid use as it really doesn't provide any additional benefit base on current medical evidence.
