Had my injection. Was a piece of cake. I have 80% less pain but Dr. says that may be due to the lidocane. He stated that I should feel less pain as the days/hours go by. So far I am quite happy and glad I did it. I know some of the risks and decided to go ahead anyway, as the risks are minimal. I was very happy with my Dr. and staff at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington CT. Will keep updating as the days go by.

So glad it is helping you!!!! Fabulous news!!!
I’m still waiting for improvement. The spasms and pain from that is still happening. The swelling is diminished and I can walk with improved balance. So that is big!

I did injections first 2 were awesome I am 75 and active so did not want to slow down unnecessarily. The 2nd shot lasted 6 weeks then pain 4/5/6 went back in scheduled 3 rd injection it lasted only about a week. So disappointing yet I ended up with at least 13 weeks thru Oct no surgery …I feel anyone that get injections and it helps be thankful !! Nj from CA
