Trigger point injection

I was taught in residency how to do them. I use a combination of lido/steroid if there is no allergies/contraindications. I have done it with lido alone. I believe there is a *large* placebo effect with these - but its better than adding or increasing opiates. Having done a few hundred, I think my success rate for pain relief is around 66%
