  • Title: Fibrous myopathy from butorphanol injections.
    Author: Wagner JM, Cohen S.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1991 Dec; 18(12):1934-5. PubMed ID: 1724466.
    Abstract:
    We describe an unusual, and probably underrecognized manifestation of intramuscular narcotic abuse. Fibrous myopathy is a deforming, fibrous infiltration of the muscles used for injection over a prolonged period. It is usually associated with pentazocine or meperidine injections, and to our knowledge, this is the first report of butorphanol causing the entity.
