Yes, I’ve had them before you can get them every 3 months. They are indeed painful while the injections are being done but once done the pain is gone just to be forewarned it is not like Botox injections…it is much more painful to administer

I had a nerve block and it sadly made no difference
Yes, I have had several and they did not work, just like everything else I have tried.
Yes and success! I have had about 7 or 8 injections on each side of my head (occipital nerve). It is painful. However. I have a trick. Grab a squeeze ball or ask the Dr if they have any drug rep freebies (small brains, etc). This helps so much to have something to squeeze the crap out of. The injection is quick and only burns for about 15 seconds! Done! You are numb for several hours to 1/2 of a day. This is great. I have really gotten a lot of relief. I hope this helps😌
My appeal was denied so nothing new to try. I’m so frustrated.
