The duration of pain reduction varies. I have had one last for 18 months and I have had others that last for 6 months. There is no way of predicting the duration period.
With regards to balance, as I have previously written, the ablations and injections do not help with balance. I wish that it did because mine is in the tank.
God bless you and I am always happy to help with advice if I am able.

Understood Charles. If this helps the pain at all in the feet, that to me is a game changer and I will be very happy.
She also said it may help with swelling I have in the sinus that I was to take a steroid for. I asked her if I should wait to take it (another dr prescribed me a steroid for that issue). Since the back is more important than the sinus I am opting for that shot of course. So this would be a perk.
If I understood her, if a shot does not last long enough then I would be a candidate for ablation. So, having options is good.
Since it’s not going to do anything for spasm, looks like I will end up staying on muscle relaxer unless there is another alternative for that.
I think talking to you gave me the confidence to talk to her about the whole balance thing. Thank God I did! I would not have seen that as an option. So, Thank You Charles! 😊
