I went to a specialist in epidural and pain. Spoke to her this morning, she said that the injection straight in the nerve takes time as it is cortinose and anesthetic product. It needs a few days before the relief starts. But she gave me Lyrika 75 twice a day,sopeldeiun twice a day and Triptizol 10 mg before I go to bed. The last is an antidepressant used to calm the pain and help feel better
