Jack, when I got my injections, and I had a few of them, I felt really good for about 4 to 6 hours. Then it got worse but eventually it will get better if they got it in the right level where your pain is coming from.

I think the initial feel good effect is from the numbing shots and I also think there is something added to it to give the quick relief. I wish I could remember all of what goes in but of course I can't. Hopefully someone will.

Give it time and continue to take it easy. Also I never stopped taking any of the meds I was on at the time including anti-seizure types so don't stop any of them.

Rest, use ice on the injection site if it helps and you should start to see some relief in a week or so. Mine pain relief lasted a few months so I am hoping you can find the same...Sue
