Dear Jocelyn, No I have never had phenol injections, and would only consider them with a very experienced anaesthesiologist/physiatrist.They destroy nerves permenantly, and can be disasterous if one does them wrong. . I would do trigger point/Botox or Botox Type B (Myobloc), before Phenol. If you are thinking about it, make sure the doctor knows what they are doing. Many physicians who used to do phenol have switched to Botox-- easier on the patient/less risks. If I did phenol I would want to have exhausted all other options. Hope this helps. Jenn
