Hi Elaine...I've had several local injections from my rheumatologist, the most recent being this past Friday. I've also done 2 runs of steroids, to no avail. I haven't had any epidural steroid injections because the MRI couldn't find any reason for the pain or neuropathy. The most recent injections were procaine, and they went into the trigger points in my upper back muscles. They worked in the past, but this time not so much. I seem to be having more pain in my wrists and hands, which is why I'm seeking a neuro-surgical consult. Hoping that my PC approves of my choice! Thanks... Sue
