I've had these injections to my neck on 5 occasions, with the next one being eagerly awaited late February.
There are no pre-meds. He cleans the area, then injects a local. " A scratch and a sting" is promised and that is what you get. It does sting, but soon stops. You get one for each injection point.
Then he injects the steroids. There is a slight pressure feeling as it is injected but no pain.
I now have 4, 2 each side.
Back to recovery for checks and refreshments, then out. Last time I was in and out in just over an hour, drove home.
I have had 2 good months of relief from the last lot. Like night and day.
They say to take it easy for a day or so, but I've had no problems at all.
So don't panic or worry. If you don't like the thought of a little sting, take a pain killer before.
