Yes let us know. I had shots in my neck today. Back to do lower back again next week. I guess they can only do treatments for three tiles. They are starting to help.

Hi!
So happy the shot is starting to work.
It can take 7 to 10 days before you get the full affect.
As far as I have been told, you can have a steroid injection (epidural), 3 to 4 times a year in each area.
I was also told that waiting 3 weeks before getting another shot is the rule of thumb.
Although we can't feel it, all the shots are systemic.
However, it does not feel the same all over because of the location of the shot.
I pray that not only the shot works but it lasts.
Here's to a pain free rest of the day....
