thanks! I'm aware of that, but my question is more to do with whether the improvement is in the back area or the referred pain in the back of the leg, which is my main issue right now.

Where was the injection made, what part of the spine? Your pain sounds a lot like sciatica, which I think involves the lumbar spine.

I'm sorry, I don't know anything about facet joint injections. Cortisone? Again, your leg symptoms sound like they're being caused by a problem in the lumbar spine - herniated or ruptured disc, stenosis, etc., - putting pressure on the sciatic nerve and causing pain in the back of the leg.

Sorry I cam't be of more help. Hope you find an answer. Joe
