Lorna, if they do trigger point injections, that will be done in the muscles of the region - not into the joint itself, and that is a different kind of a procedure. That may help free up your jaw if it is hard to move it because the muscles have become very tight, for instance. I have had trigger point injections in various parts of my body and they went okay, although I haven't had them for my face before. I haven't had Botox injections before.

The injection I had was inside my jaw joint, and that sounds like it is a different procedure than was recommended for you.

Good luck - I hope you feel better soon!
