Hi all...
There are several shots you can receive as part of a pain management plan. In addition, each doctor has a different kind of hand (gentle to rough).
That being said, there are a number of factors that impact the shot you will receive including:
1. Type of shot,
2. Medication used.
3. Reason for shot.
4. Severity of condition.
5. Hand of doctor (see above).
As far as how long the shot lasts (you'llsee some repetitionfrom above):
1. Type of medication used,
2. How inflamed you are,
3. How long since your previous shot (if any).
4. How well you watch yourself as to not irritate the hurting part****
a. A shot is like a bandage. If you overdo, the pain will return more quickly.
b. Resting for the day after the shot.
5. How well your doc gets the correct spit.
I went for different shots for years ans years. The ONLY times I received sedation was with my first shot and not knowing what to expect. Then when I had Radio Frequency Ablation.
As for pain??? I do feel it when the medication is first injected and hoes through your sustem, that is what I feel. Right after the shot I feel pain as the medicine goes through my system. It takes abot 39 minutes to stop. Since I have to wait for 15 min. after, the pain does not lasr much beyond my trip home. I always carry a pain pill or Extra Strength Tylenol.
As far as how long it lasts??? My first 4 doctors NEVER gave me more than a couple of weeks, if that. My current doc gave me 6 to 12 weeks relief. When my spinal issues became too bad and surgery was needed, the shot just took the edge off.
I hope all this helps.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

@karolyn your emotions have a lot to do with how you,ll react to the shot also. I,ve had these shots but try to keep the fear from overtaking me with that being said it hurts yes but the pain is gone almost right away and you can resume your day .What helps me now is either ice or a heating pad to my back.Like today Im on my heating pad .Try not to let your fear get the best of you .

Good morning,
The shot is uncomfortable, but for me, I don't feel sedation is necessary. Let's face it, everyone has a different pain tolerance. I also know adults who are so terrified of any kind of injection that they yell just seeing the needle.
I have no fear of shots and I am able to remain very still during this 10 to 15 minute procedure .
Like I said, it is not painless, but I tolerate it easily and I dislike any sedation more!
The doctor does use a very fine needle and numbs the area first. I do feel the meds going through my system. That is actually the most uncomfortable spot, not the injection itself. The discomfort lasted me about 15 minutes or so after the procedure is done.
As for surgery? Yes. After many years of injections and other interventions, I opted for surgery. Nothing was working. I had SEVERE headaches and issues with my arms, hands and neck. At the end of this past February, I had C5/6 replaced with artificial discs. The surgery was done through my neck as an out patient. I healed quickly and I was done with pain meds in a couple of days.
12 weeks ago today, I had a 2nd surgery on L3/4. I had an X-lift fusion. Not sure what it means but yhey went through my left side.
I will be honest that this has been a VERY LONG and DIFFICULT recovery. It has been very painful!! 12 weeks later and I still don't feel myself. I really don't know if it is the surgery or something else that has begun to act up. I am full of osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia so that be impacting how I feel.
Anyway, hope this helps...
