: : Does anyone have any experience with these? My doctor who specializes in TMJ disorders is recommending that I get them. : Hi Larry...What kind of drug is Sarapin? I get Bo-tox injections to paralyze my spasming facial muscles that lasts 6 months. I know others that get Lidocaine injections that are painful and only last a few hours. If Sarapin is a steroid, I would avoid it. There are studies that link steroid injections to degenerative joint disease. Take care...Carole
Larry & Carole,
If you find out what Sarapin injections are, please post back on the board. I take Flexaril, and sometimes Darvocet for the pain, and on some days, neither is enough to kill the pain. I've often wanted to go to the ER for a shot of Novacaine in my jaw area, at least to get some temporary relief. Have never done it, though. Do either of you use heat packs? They can help, somewhat, temporarily. I'll be anxiously checking the board for either of you to reply. I'm willing to try anything SHORT of surgery!
