I'm not sure if it was supposed to be "trigger-point", just supposed to be the location of greatest pain. That explains why it's kind of ouchy to get it done, of course. :-)

Bummer that yours didn't do what you needed! :( Was there anything else you could try at that point?

you REALLY don't wanna see that doc's bill. trust me.

Medicine never used to be this expensive when I paid for it all myself! Minor outpatient surgery with local anaesthetic was well within my budget back then. Now, I bet it's five figures.
