Re: the bladder thing....It was listed as a possible side effect of the shot.(temporary thing)...the place is supposed to be real good, all the docs are anesthesiologists, so I do not feel too worried, just the normal anxiety! ok I seem to have alot to learn.....I may be mistaken about the number shot sequences you can get....I will have my questions ready. Thanks to all for the replies. How long does the pain relief generally last you guys? I heard somewhere that the first week the lidocaine completly numbs the pain before the steroid kicks in. And those steroid side effects sound yuck.

For those not liking it may I ask why?
