I have received injections every three months for the last 1.5 years due to chronic back pain from a car accident. The injections are, at first, very painful, and it can take up to 6 days for me to fully recover, but within a week or two I feel perfectly fine! With these injections I am able to retain full range of motion with very limited back pain. Unfortunately, I do have to go through this sam...
VERY DANGEROUS! YOU CAN LOSE VISION, DEVELOP METABOLISM, CARDIAC AND ENDOCRINE ISSUES!!! DOCTORS ARE IRRESPONSIBLY ADMINISTERING THIS DRUG!!!

I receiv ed several trigger point injections in my back. The area of the shoulder, which would go numb prior to the injections, feels much better and I have regained muscular strength. The area near my spine remains in spasm and the drug was not as effective.

I could hardly walk or use my arms, I finally went to the drs and got this injection and felt great by that evening. It lasted about a month, just got another one feel great again. After 1st injection I didn't take it easy for a while, I think thats why it didn't last longer.Its get to get my life back, just hope this one last longer. The tablets worked great too

I have been given this drug twice for short term relief of symptoms for Rhuemitoid Vasculitus. It acted like adreneline for about a day, but the pain and other symptoms went away for weeks. I do get other drugs such as Ritoxin and prednisone, so it is not a solo effect. But I do know when I get it and it definitely has an effect.

I was referred by a co-worker who suffers from severe allergies as I do. I went in the same day I found out about Depo-Merolo and got a shot. Within 5 minutes my conjestion was cleared and the dry cough was non-existent. For myself it was a miracle shot.
