So, Depo-Medrol is a combo steroid, correct? Thank you for response!
I do have fibromyalgia, especially legs, arms.
For extruded cervical spine discs, I've had trigger point injections with lidocaine and Aristocort (a steroid).
Last time saw current PCP; he did six pokes (trigger points) in the muscle between top shoulder blades. Did not have Aristocort; used something supposed to be like it; name not recalled. Good news is did not have break-through pain!
Is Depo-Medrol used in epidural injections? Seems maybe that was one of the choices I wasn't given. For me, epidural injections w/ triamcinolone are totally ineffective.
I'm at a place where can print. Don't worry, I do not print names or sites. Keeping info for future.
Re: Elavil; if in position to d.c. Eff-XR, toss it and Prozac back and forth.
Best wishes in this 'merry-or-moody season' to you and all friends, .. cf
> It is a combination of drugs. Pain killers, steroids, etc. It is much safer than prednisone and is given in the hip. I could'nt function without it. Compared to going without it I am virtually pain free with it. Ask your Dr. about it.
