They are really no big deal. You are told to take it easy after the injection. Then you can return to work the next day. They will tell you it will take a few days to work. For me, they NEVER worked.
If you find that they don't work for you, do NOT let them do any more!!! Medical journal ALL say that if the first one doesn't work, do NOT let them do any more cause any subsequent ones will NOT work either. Some doctors like to tell their patients that they have to "build up" in the system, but that's a BIG LIE. They tell their patients that because they get between $1,500 to $2,500 PER INJECTION to do them!!! So if #1 doesn't work, don't let him do anymore. These injections are hard on the body.
I hope it does work for your sake and you get some relief. God bless. Hugs, Lee
