 Newhope welcome to our group. Your post has broken my heart, thinking about you having to be in bed all the time. Isnt there anything anyone can do for you? I certainly hope you were approved for disability.

I am sorry, could you explain what a TPI is?

 Sandee, now that I know what TPI is, trigger point injections, I will tell you I have had one, a long time ago. It did help with my pain for a while, but after those effects were gone, I felt worse and I couldnt go back for more bc my ins had run out.

I do not go to pain management for the very reason you said, I dont want to be doped up and in a daze the rest of my life.

Hope you get the relief you deserve.
